Hi! I am a multidiciplinary artist based in Amsterdam. My practice manifests in collaborative projects, clay reliefs, woodwork, and my fascination with material research for alternative glazing methods. With my work, I like to ask how we relate to one another, as well as to the materials and resources around us. I like to explore how humans belong to a physical reality composed of elemental matter: basic physicalities such as minerals, metals, water, and organic elements. We live in a world detached from our resources, from each other, and often from ourselves, though we are actually kin with everything and everyone that surrounds us. With my work, I want to reflect on this and open ways to collaborate, connect, and interact.

My works are available via Rademakers Gallery

UN-TILED, 2026
My graduation work UN-TILED is an installation consisting of a dining table that becomes a conversational piece, inviting unconventional forms of exchange amongst the audience. The table is made of 15 ceramic tiles that can be moved, while subtly changing the way of engaging with the table.

The tiles feature various reliefs and engravings that guide glass marbles as they roll around the table’s surface. With Marbles, one of the most ancient games in human history, i want to revive the table as a playful stage and invites to break the inherited conventions of table manners.

More pictures of my graduation work you can find here: Gerrit Rietveld Academie  















SPOONS OF KIN(D)SHIP,2026As part of the project UN-TILED, i use hand crafted glass spoons that invited for interacting with the table.






ceramic glazing research, 2025 – ongoing
By collaging glazes testtiles i sketch and draft my paintings. They becomes part of a bigger composistion once they fit into a group of other testtiles. Over time a palette on collage testiles pieces accumulates that i can set in different forms and compositions.









(S)KINS OF THE SEA, 2026In this project, I use seaweed glazes as a drawing medium to explore alternative methods of ceramic glazing. This exhibition was developed in collaboration with Limu Cosmetics. Together we traced a journey from ocean to research lab, as part of the STARTS EU residency, which aims to connect science, art, and technology.
