Discovering unexpected moments, finding new forms and meanings drives me. Showing an alternate point of view can lead to a different world. Using blurred movement, reduced depth of field and a painterly manipulation of natural light, shadow, shape and texture speaks to my imagination and creates room for interpretation. My work varies from landscape to street photography to near abstract work. It evolves around themes like alienation and solitude, desire and obstacles.
Born in Groningen (1970) and now living in Utrecht. I graduated from the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht.
