About

I work as a digital product designer, which, while being a creative profession has also a lot of rules and boundaries, things need to work, need to function, need to make sense. A part of me loves being a designer, loves the rules, guidelines, solving problems, making things work, but there is another side of me that simply wants to create without boundaries and limitations, wants to have fun, wants to be free. I let this side of me roam free through my art. In the past couple of years I experimented with different forms of art, anything from making music (reaching 800 unfinished demos), making a series of sticky note drawings of 1500 different faces, did a small detour in painting and recently drawing digitally. The more I drew the more I learned about myself and the world around me and the more my style started to form.

Inspiration

Everything really. I'm a digital hoarder, I collect a lot of thing and often inspiration for a piece comes from the most bizarre places, like a hip hop song, watching a movie or anime, looking photography, seeing a fun tattoo, a can of tuna on the shelve oof the grocery store or just everyday life around me. I like observing people (not in a creepy way), learning about different cultures around me that then also is a great source of inspiration for my art.
I like mixing symbols from different domains and times, often mixing medieval ornaments with modern pop art with a dash of Japanese tattoo art. For me art is fun and I try to have a mindset that everything works.
