In my recent work, I use symbolic storytelling as a starting point. This can be found in (western) mythology and fairytales. As a child I grew up with these stories and they are still very dear to me, both in how I perceive the world and give meaning to my life. The universal archetypes and symbols, such as the egg, the clown or wolf, inspire me to build my own visual language. 

A work usually starts out as a painting, but for me that is not where the process ends. I define my work as ‘painting installations’. Instead of just painting on canvas, I want to tell a story that can fill up the entire physical space. My ideas are translated into murals, sculptures and tapestries. The presentation of my work is always fluid. I see my works as building blocks, so that the visitor can construct and experience a story of their own.
