I was born in a small town, Eemnes, and grew up in a musical family in the seventies. I dabbled in the creative arts at the Art Academy Edelsmeden Amsterdam, where I honed my craft skills and earned my master’s mark. In the 1990s, I went to the school of graphic design and received some training. 

My attraction towards urban life at that point led me to dedicate myself to street photography in 2013. During this process, I came to realize that I have different philosophical points of views. In the stillness of my alone time, I unearthed the profound depths of self-reflection being the artwork itself through introspection.
