1. What's your story? Where are you from?I'm from Belgium and I live in Ghent. Joy and contemplation would be the key I write my story in.
2. Tell us about your aesthetic.If I have to detect a recurring pattern in my work I would say: colour and straight lines.3. What is your favourite medium and why?I love to paint digitally. It gives me a sense of freedom. I can work with every colour I want and keep my lines straight. Maybe it sounds contradictory but I also enjoy working with my hands and bringing my drawings to life through woodcutting, rusting metal, etc. I love learning about new materials, machinery and their limitations.4. What is your artistic process like?I work rather intuitively. During a project, I always listen to the same (set of) song(s).5.
