As long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by the way people connect, drift apart and find their way back to one another.

Long before I started painting, I translated emotions into simple figures and symbols.

It became my own language for feelings that were often too complex for words.

​

My work is inspired by the sea.

Living near the coast of Knokke-Heist, I am constantly drawn to its contrasts: calm and chaos, depth and surface, freedom and longing.

The ocean reminds me that emotions move much like waves sometimes quietly, sometimes overwhelmingly, but never standing still.

​

Creativity has always been a part of my life.

From my years at the Children's Art Academy to my love for theatre, opera, black-and-white photography and long walks, I have always been inspired by stories, atmosphere and human behaviour.

I find beauty in details that others often overlook and inspiration in the everyday moments that reveal something deeper.

Through simple lines, abstract figures, texture and symbolism, I explore themes of connection, attraction, rejection, identity and belonging.

​

My work is deeply personal, yet intentionally open.

I do not want to tell people what to see or feel.

Instead, I invite them to bring their own experiences into the artwork.

​

In September 2026, I will begin my studies in Painting at MAAK – Open Huis voor Kunsten, the local academy for part-time arts education in Knokke-Heist, where I will continue developing my artistic voice and technical skills. 

​

Because every painting starts with my story.

But it becomes complete when it meets yours.
