Materials that I used in the late 80s and early 90s are now finally accepted. And the merger with new technologies makes it the perfect time to start again.

Bio

I started as a musician in the early 1980s and continued through the years up to and including the present.
Now, 44 years later, there are more and more disciplines that I mix and research.
Contemporary technology allows me to merge the objects I make. I also took a break due to circumstances, partly due to the feeling that I had said what I had to say at that moment. I have picked up the thread again because I now see that some of the materials that are now being used and have been accepted.
Such as poor materials, cardboard, wood, recycled... etc.
Materials that I used in the late 80s and early 90s are now finally accepted. And the merger with new technologies makes it the perfect time to start again.

Statement

My inspiration is everything around me, that's why I work in different disciplines.
This concerns jewellery, light objects, music, furniture, etc
I want to walk around in a childlike way with an open mind and remain amazed by the beauty of this planet.
