In 2013 I graduated as a laureate award-winning artist in painting at Iko. This is an Art Academy in Hoogstraten, Belgium. Painting and drawing were a matter of course for me as a child. It just belonged to me. I decorated my school notebooks and devoured comic books (Tommiks) because of their beautiful drawings and stories. Drawing was a passion which I did everywhere.
In order to learn more about the different techniques, I decided to follow the seven year training in Hoogstraten. There, I discovered my preference and qualities for graphic work. Encouraged by my teacher, I developed my own style which is characterized by predominantly black and white graphics and a multitude of patterns: shapes and lines. Through my memories I create a story, therefore I tell a story in pictures.
