Simplicity 8. Drawing

Amsterdam, in the Netherlands is my home town. After finishing my study at the Amsterdam Fashion Academy and Gerrit Rietveld Academy ( fashion design studies), I lived and worked in Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Austria were I worked as an illustrator for magazines and publishers. I started later with oil paintings. In every country were I live, the enviroment influences and inspire your work. Like in Bulgaria I learned from an famous artist the traditional way of making religious icons, the use of gold and egg/tempera what makes it a very special art. I did wall paintings (fresco's) in a Monestery, about their religious Bulgarian canon. I design gift cards and illustrations for a publisher. At the moment Fashion illustration is the main part of my work and inspiration.
