I make work about the world that surrounds me. This can be persons, objects and situations I encounter, or things I see in the media or online. Besides the fact that I’m observing and drawing people wherever I can, I am fascinated with vehicles, buildings, plants, and animals. At This Art Fair I present a collection of works about the urban jungle: drawings of hi-rise buildings, obscure corners, street racers, (post-)pandemic pets and a series of Criminal Carpets, depicting criminals caught on camera by my favourite tv show ‘Opsporing Verzocht’.
