Making is thinking with your hands

Rooted in philosophy, I create colorful paintings and collages using accessible and found materials. Without sketching, I work directly with the material and my subconscious, using ideas at only as a starting point.

I call this process “ Koenst ”: my way of slowing down, philosophising, and reflecting, with the artwork on the front and my written thoughts on the back.

This approach is actually simple and easy to follow. And that’s exactly my goal: to make creativity a habit that everyone practices. Because I believe that creativity is just as important as exercise and eating for a healthy and happy mind.
