ABOUT ME

 

My work begins with observing what is not immediately visible.

​

People fascinate me not because of how they present themselves, but because of what appears in moments of unconscious expression. In a gaze, a posture, a detail that passes by without someone realizing it.

​

During my five-year of intensive Classical Atelier training at an Belgian Academy of Fne Arts, I developed a strong foundation in traditional techniques and craftsmanship. This classical foundation continues to form the basis of my work.

​

With graphite as my starting point, I build my drawings layer by layer. I also work with pastel, bister, watercolor and conté. Each material has its own possibilities, but the search remains the same: creating a work where emotion, nuance and human expression come together.

​

What continues to drive me is the complexity of being human. The tension between what we show and what we keep hidden. The moments when someone reveals a part of themselves without realizing it. It is precisely there that I find the works I want to create.
