“Capturing authenticity and real life is one of the main starting points  in my work. I am trained as a journalist in The Netherlands, a place that has a rich history in documentary storytelling. This has influenced me greatly. Along the way I became more and more  interested in the art of visual representation of these stories.  When I moved to Bali everything sort of clicked. After years of doing self development I finally integrated this search for my own authenticity into my visual work.  I felt a deep sense of purpose. Brands like Nike, that create inspirational stories told by unique ambassadors, influence me greatly. In my time off I connect mostly with my creativity through music, bodily movement like surfing, reading and my own human journey of finding meaning. ”
