‘You are never given a dream without also being given the power to make it true’

I am a visual artist, independent curator, public speaker and moderator living and working in The Netherlands.

I am grateful to have been exposed to art and culture early in life, aiming at first to pursue a career in classical music. Nevertheless I became a scientist, just like my father, but art has always been a strong passion and I started to photograph in my twenties. I developed an own view on the world and enrolled later at the Photo Academy in Amsterdam.

In my own photographic practice I focus on both fine art, still lives with a twist and storytelling. I approach regularly the experimental photography and I am mixing photography with other graphic art styles. I have a true fascination for the Dutch Old Masters, for the Japanese photography and for early 20th century art movements such as the Dadaism and Surrealism.

Other projects that take my time and attention are autonomous documentary series revealing the interaction between humankind and the rest of nature. I curate regularly artists with a critical view on our relationship with the planet and aim to help raising awareness. I think it is imperative to question the belief of having achieved a higher level of civilization in the current world compared to the rich indigenous cultures and to promote more humbleness and less superficiality.

I graduated from a master level International Curatorial Program in Berlin, aiming to finetune my vision on a progressive way of curating and connecting the dots between art and the strong message that the visual material can and should convey. My topics of interest in curation are Intersectional Feminism, Gender Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, Decolonizing Artistic Practices and Artificial Intelligence in Art.
