conceptual artist and photographer, Royal Antwerp academy for Fine Art, in situ3, site specific art, installations, drawings and paintings

To find the beauty in emerging patterns, of dreams, of visions, of experience, in music, all must have underlying mathematical pureness. An exploration of the ordinary, in simple movement, shapes, pen or brush strokes and I like how spontaneity and intuition makes up quasi-random coincidences that have higher and deeper meanings. Sometimes it takes ages to be able to see them.
