independant creator based in Amsterdam (NL)
For me it is the joy of creation .. and the need to create every day ..
and transferring a message with my work. The warmth and connection with people inspires me.
I have a special focus on visual storytelling, collage making, architecture and urban locations, the lives of people, their culture. The discovering and developing of new meaningful techniques.
the question for me is: how can I develop methods to express what I feel and experience the best. And how can I tell my stories in a way people understand or start thinking about things.
I started imageLab in 2001 to deleop a laboratorium for everybody who is motivated to learn and explore image making with photos, collages, paintings, maybe theatre.
I am teaching worldwide in workshops, based in Amsterdam and every year teaching in Italy (Rome, Naples, Sicily) or Spain (Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla), France (Paris) and Brazil (Rio de Janeiro and more).
Teaching is wonderful and I find it beautiful to see people / artists grow with my guidance. That is way 1:1 mentorships are so fantastic.
