Welcome to my website!

I am a second-generation-Jew and I work as an independent visual artist in Amsterdam.

In 2010 I graduated at Gerrit Rietveld Art Academy Amsterdam, after previous careers in Baroque Music as a Violone player and in science and clinical practice as a Child Psychologist.

In my most recent artworks I use the photographs the allied forces took at the liberation of the nazi concentrationcamps in 1945. These photo's are so extremely horrific that they virtually disappeared from the public domain . . . .
