I started looking into the definition of imagination, what it is my imagination, and where it comes from. While I was drawing, I started to pay attention to what was going on but I also started to consider who I was, where I was, and what I was seeing. So instead of starting to create new work for my graduation, I focused more on the power of the imagination, one of the key sources of making art.

Artist statement

I use acrylic markers, ecoline, and watercolor paint to create my drawings. They are materials that dry quickly, allowing me to work continuously. I often operate without a predetermined plan because of this. Every action is a response to the one before it. The world around me strongly influences my work. The speed, the crowds, the amount of films and images, the never-ending trends, and the advertisements. Although it is not the focus of my drawings, it influences everything I create, frequently without my awareness. There are several drawings. Finding the threshold for when it becomes too busy interests me. And is that a bad thing? Because there is so much to look at, it allows you to hide anything everywhere. I want you to keep watching and discover new things! 

Ambities

In a large studio full of sunshine, I want to continue creating work and earn a living from it.

Geleerd tijdens de studie

Always create new things and experiment. Try new things: otherwise, you'll get trapped.

Als ik kon toveren

I started looking into the definition of imagination, what it is my imagination, and where it comes from. While I was drawing, I started to pay attention to what was going on but I also started to consider who I was, where I was, and what I was seeing around me.
