Research

Digital Artwork / Modular Design

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.

Beauty / Nature

I do believe in the impact of visual beauty in our surroundings. I create designs & illustrations to enhance products, services & spaces that we daily deal with. To improve the conditions in which we live and to provide tangible art experiences.
My main goal is Creative stimulation; to inspire others and give them a moment of wonder.
We all are touched by the beauty of nature and it is therefor my greatest inspiration source.

PhD candidate in the Arts

Digital Nature for Healthcare (2016-2020). The aim of my PhD research is to study the effects of new media art (digital illustration inspired by nature) and interactive play on the major stressors of young patients.
