Biography

Since childhood, I have been fascinated by the work of Andy Warhol.

The simplicity and phenomenal use of colour in his art have always inspired me. I try to incorporate these elements into my own work.

My search for depth in art has led me to experiment with different materials. Eventually, I found my medium in polystyrene.

This material allows me to translate my ideas to the canvas in a unique way, giving my work an extra dimension.

This new perspective is particularly evident in my cityscapes.
 

Motivation

I try to avoid repetition by constantly adding new elements to my work.Although I am rarely completely satisfied with a finished work, I see this as an engine for creativity.It helps me to always look ahead and keep an open mind.
 

For me, a good idea always takes precedence over perfect execution.

A favourite quote that motivates me in this is by Salvador Dalí: ‘Have no fear of perfection, you will never reach it.’

(Although I am not a big fan of his work, this quote reflects my view on art.)
 

I draw inspiration from various sources, such as song lyrics by 80s bands like Joy Division and The The.

Often a song title evokes an image in my head, which I then integrate into my work.

Modern architecture, as well as artists such as David Hockney, Yves Klein, James Rosenquist, Jean-Michel Basquiat and, of course, Andy Warhol, are also important sources of inspiration.
