Featured project
Boundless Mutual Connection Through Art
Candy Colors over Destruction
A devastated Homs, divided into fragments and sent into the world.
Every fragment acquired becomes part of a growing network of people, held together not by ownership but by empathy and a shared belief in what might still be built.

Carrying a piece of a story
Anyone who acquires a fragment becomes part of the work’s continuing story. A photograph with the piece and an exchange of contact details become part of the record, this site doubling as a meeting place for everyone now holding a fragment of Homs.

Welcome
Art begins where certainty ends. It is rooted in looking beyond appearances, into the layers beneath the visible, where meaning gathers within ambiguity and contradiction.
Seeker
In a time saturated with noise, abundance, mediocrity, and distraction, the search is for substance, for ideas and questions that resist easy answers, and for the deeper layers of meaning beneath the surface.
Observer
A fascination with the fragile relationship between humanity and nature and with the tensions between beauty and decay, vulnerability and resilience, and connection and isolation.
Amplifier
Observations are transformed into visual form. Through material, image, and color, emotion and experience are translated into work that invites a second, closer look.
Gallery
Three decades, one continuing inquiry
I held my first exhibition at Sociëteit Het Park. The response was encouraging, there was strong interest, and many works were sold.
This was more than a success; it was a necessary condition for continuing as an artist in a context without social support systems, where sustaining a practice depended directly on public engagement and sales.
This work belongs to a series that marks the result of my first exploration of transparent sheets and jute, where two contrasting materials reinforce each other from their unique physicality
My research into the interaction of materials gradually led me toward this visual language, a direction that resonated naturally with my artistic development.
It opened space for growth and deeper exploration.
Expanding narratives
Projects that extend beyond the individual
The Intellectual Decapitation of Suriname
reflects on the murder of fifteen men on December 8, 1982, whose lives and voices were violently silenced. It is both a tribute and a reminder: when critical minds are destroyed, a country is wounded far beyond the moment itself.
MEMOS
is a series in which poetry and abstraction meet in a delicate balance. Words, fragments, colors, and forms come together as traces of thought, not to explain, but to open space for quiet reflection. A visual note: intimate, layered, and suspended.
LUMORAS
A more intuitive path toward awareness, where material and form engage the imagination and open space for reflection on existence, continuity, and evolution.
About
I have been drawing since childhood. What began as an instinctive need to create became a practice with interruptions, shaped by observation and the urge to give form to what often remains unseen. My work is rooted in the belief that every image and object carries a hidden story.
