My work revolves around human vulnerability, transformation and transience.
Every head I sculpt carries emotion within it — not perfectly symmetrical, but raw and real.
I am not looking for the ideal image, but for what makes us human: the traces of time, the beauty in the uncomfortable, the fragility of a moment that is almost gone.

My images invite you to look inside. They give shape to what often remains hidden.

My first encounter with clay was by chance. Two years ago I bought a modeling set for my youngest daughter, Lilli. Out of curiosity I put my hands in the clay myself — and I knew immediately: this is it. Since then I have started making heads. Intuitively. From feeling. Form and emotion that reinforce each other.

I have a foundation in art education in Hasselt (PIKOH), but I see myself as self-taught.
I learn by doing. By trying, failing, starting over. My work is constantly changing, growing with me.
No fixed rules. Just searching for what is right. For the story in a wrinkle, a fold, a crooked mouth.

I also choose the materials based on feeling.
I work with clay, acrylic paint, varnish and Compaktuna — but I don't bake my sculptures. Baked clay feels dead.
I want my work to continue to breathe.

Compaktuna extracts moisture from the clay and makes it hard without becoming brittle. This way my sculptures remain raw, alive, tangible.
As if they could say anything at any moment.
