THE STORY
"Red Herring" marked the start of my artistic pursuits. It explored themes of love, lust and solitude.
A year prior to that i created "Trinity", depicting the first ever atomic bomb ever detonated. We, as humanity are capable of destruction without limits. Are we to be trusted with that sort of power?
Everyone's favourite "Enjoy the view", was different. Not really centered around a theme, but around a core human experience. 'We're here anyways, seek adventure beyond your ordinary life.' is the simple message. It is a hyper realistic drawing, I spent hours on end on it, it took me days and my best efforts to bring it to completion, I hadn't done that before. This was real dedication to get it right. After showing it to some friends, family and other acquaintances I received many positive reactions.
This gave me the feeling of striking gold, I felt inspired to share my gift.
My plan to take things further already had taken root in my mind. Creating a logo, a certain style. I started looking for places to print my art, framers, etc. Many hours, days and weeks went by.
I started sharing on my process on Instagram on the 1st of April 2025.
The first version of this website was published 2nd of July 2025.

THE GOAL
To make art that captures the human condition, emotions and experiences, is what I aspire to do. To make us wonder about our place in this vast universe.
What do we make of our lives, our passions and dreams? Do they have any significance beyond ourselves?
I wanted to be able to share the experience of art with those who invite it in. They did. That is why I create.
For people that understand my art, I decided to start selling high quality prints, for those who can appreciate it.


THE MATERIALS
With heavy fine art paper and pencils each artwork is crafted. Preferably graphite pencil accompanied by archival (fine liner) ink pens and charcoal for the stunning black and white look that dictates most of my work. The look that strips down all noise and shows only that what has to be, for the sake of clarity.
The introduction of colour, with colour pencils and the best pastel pencils is something to look out for. Because colour is part of the experience.

THE LOCATION
Situated between tulips and big names.
Art made in the Netherlands.
S.B.K. Art & Design, est. 2025.
