The Work

I'm obsessed with making the ordinary extraordinary — taking everyday objects like peppers, lemons, and old cars, and rendering them with the detail and attention usually reserved for fine art. The chili pepper became my signature, but the obsession extends to anything I can stare at long enough.

My practice moves between the screen and the workshop. I paint digitally with vector precision, then bring those same forms into the physical world as large-scale cardboard cutouts, neon-lit installations, and immersive gallery pieces. The tension between the handmade and the pixel-perfect is where the work lives.

Currently graduating from HKU Product Design in Utrecht, where the exhibition TUSSENTONEN brought these two worlds together for the first time at full scale.
