Visual artist working with CGI and sculpture, based in Amsterdam



I'm a visual artist and 3D designer who explores the blurring lines between organic and synthetic, particularly the "uncanny" feeling we get when the artificial seems almost real. My work combines digital tools with sculpture, using mediums like stone, wax, and 3D softwares to create installations and videos. I also collaborate with other artists, and organize exhibitions to further explore these ideas.
