About Me

Your pronoun

Introduction

I enjoy to notice that people always recognize something of the internal person in my sculptures. That means that I can make thoughts and feelings visual and uniform for people.

During my éducation in Belgium I have had the opportunity several times to join an experimental group where I could apply my ideas situ.

What I Love about Ceramics

I can express my feelings, my mood.

How I started with ceramics

When I went to an art school in Belgium, to pick up a friend. When I came into the studio it felt like coming home. The smell of clay…  It’s like I realized that was a moment were I could change my live. It’s like I missed something. So I went to the art school and followed their program for 9 years. Learned a lot of technics. But what I also learned from my teacher John van Oers is to look carefully, make the right choices; what is your purpose, what is the message. I loved every day of it.

What inspires me

That’s a lot.

What I'm working on at the moment

Expressing my experiences with other people in a sculpture, It has to do with passing borders.

My Artist Statement

My interests are; human, nature and thoughts.
