Research
Independent artist affiliated with the Experimental Media Group, Antwerp - Sint. Lucas School of Art

A lot of my work deals with nature: plants, insects, creatures, behavior, evolution. To me there is nothing more fascinating. I adore the small details that seemingly fall outside of the general system. Research and analysis are an integral part of my artistic frame. I tend to examine each assignment thoroughly. Then I slice it up into comprehensible pieces and create artwork for each of these pieces. The result is a library of building blocks: not one single panoramic composition, but a graphic set of components. Things I can recombine again and again into new compositions. it's not just about creating one piece of art. My work is about evolution, reusability, recombination.
