Artist’s Statement
While a student at the Academy of the Arts in Rotterdam, I was exposed to many media and
enthusiastically embraced all possibilities. I worked in ceramics, textile design, graphic arts and painting.
I found handling textiles very satisfying, partially because as a child I was surrounded by many fabrics
and the sound of a sewing machine because my mother was a fashion designer.
Even though my material is fabric I consider myself a painter-draftsman always working with the
interpretation between material and illusion.
