ABOUT

I am a spatial artist, and my interdisciplinary work centres on the intersection of architecture and photography, with a strong emphasis on craftsmanship. In my practice, I adopt a "research-by-making" trajectory and work through various means of drawings, collages, and photography to critically explore the boundaries of architecture and its visual representation.

Recently, my artistic curiosity has extended to digital technologies, offering a compelling counterpart to my traditional hands-on analogue approach. Exploring the synergy between traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge digital tools has opened up new horizons for my artistic exploration.
Besides my autonomous practice, I am currently employed at KAAN Architecten.
