What’s Next?
So….are you looking for … ART?
Born and raised in Antwerp, Belgium, with Dutch and Indonesian roots.
My path has never been linear.
From sales assistant to team leader.
From coach to trainer.
From theatre and voice to creating art.
And each time, I returned to the same place.
Art.
Not as something on the side,
but as something that shapes who I am and how I see the world.
I am an autonomous, self-taught artist.
My work does not start with a question from the outside,
but with a necessity from within.
In a world where success is often measured in numbers, visibility and validation,
I choose to work from depth, connection and authenticity.
Because what is not always visible,
is where the real value lives.
The connection that is created.
The insight that is felt.
The shift that quietly begins and moves beyond what can be explained.
My journey has been built on experience, discipline and devotion.
Supporting others. Sharing ideas. Creating space.
Often behind the scenes, without recognition.
And still, there comes a moment where everything asks for clarity.
Not only to create,
but to stand for the value of what is created.
I do not believe in “fake it till you make it”.
I believe in building something real.
With integrity. With presence. With intention.
My work invites reflection, recognition and transformation.
It is created to be felt, not just seen.
My studio, Hub168 Art Studio, is located at the monastery Klooster Bovendonk, where my work can be experienced by appointment.
I also work on commission, creating pieces that are deeply connected to personal stories, energy and what wants to be revealed.
So …
If it resonates, you are welcome.
