Sasja Hagens

People ask me: Why do you paint harbours? And where are you from? Here is the answer:

My father, grand father and great-grand father are all marine educated sailors, or pilots stationed at the Surinam river Paramaribo. I see myself as a 4th generation sailor; proud of my background and excited to share my colours with you. (Studio photo Aad Hoogendoorn -NRC)
