My work consists of sculptures and drawings. Next to my profession as an independent artist, I'm working as a teacher in ceramics and drawing.About my works:I am fascinated by the human body, especially when the body is not perfect but affected by disease or old age. Discarded from narrative meanings, I am interested in the beauty of the seemingly unnatural colors and the whimsical shapes. By drawing the contrast between an affected body and a healthy body, my view on the meaning of disease, life and death is more open, more precise and broader. The fact that a work on such an unpleasant and in a way inaccessable subject can be really beautiful, causes a tension between the work and the viewer. A tension between attracting and pushing off. This is the thing that fascinates and also affects me. This is exactly the thing I am researching in my work; how can I, as a human, deal with the negative, morbide side of life? With illness, misfortune and death? And since I don't believe in a black- and white view on a life - meaning that there would be a bright side and a black side, either good or bad people - how does this interaction between the positive and the negative work? For when I can see beauty in a wound or uglyness in a perfect face, then aren't both sides always present?
