I am a visual artist, working within a broad visual context to explore the present through art.
Born in Curaçao and based in the Netherlands, I began my artistic journey studying Game Design and later Filmmaking at the Netherlands Film Academy, always maintaining a deep interest in the arts and culture.
my visual work has taken shape through film, games, and digital media—merging narrative, form, and technology. My current practice is focused on art as a space for reflection, presence, and expression.
​
Artist Statement
I’m drawn to the balance between structure and intuition.
The space where my work lives sits between planning and feeling, between control and letting go, between digital and traditional. I work with form, color, and composition to explore how visual choices shape what we feel and how we connect.
​
My background across different creative fields exposed me to many visual vocabularies. That variety still shapes how I approach things. Always looking, questioning, adjusting.
