Born in: Belgium on 20 May 1959.

Currently living: Deinze (Belgium).

Activity: Mix Media; Other;

Born and raised in Zwijndrecht near Antwerp, Belgium.

Whilst studying classical Latin-Greek in secondary school, I grew fascinated by ancient art during art history classes. When visiting Antwerp, you could always find me in museums where I became passionate about modern art. 

Once I finished secondary school, I opted for an artistic education at the LUCA – School of Arts in Antwerp. Even during my professional career at a graphic design company, my love of art persisted, always looking for new discoveries in museums both in Belgium and abroad. 

When I moved to Deinze in 2013, I enrolled at the art academy “KADE visual (fine) art”. 

It was during a public presentation that a gallerist praised my work for its originality. 

Consequently, I decided to showcase my artwork in both solo and group exhibitions. 

In the meantime I also participated in artistic workshops in Ghent, organised by LUX Kunstwerk(t).
