Het begin

“Ik was ongeveer dertien jaar oud toen ik begon met tekenen en zat op de middelbare school. Mijn interesse lag niet bij de gebruikelijke schoolvakken, maar ik liet mijn fantasie de vrije loop in de schriften. Rond mijn vijftiende raakte ik erg geïnteresseerd in videoproductie en begon ik een YouTube-kanaal waar ik video’s van mij en mijn vrienden op de fiets monteerde. Uiteindelijk leidde dit creatieve pad mij naar de Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten in Den Haag. Na mijn afstuderen aan Interactive/Media/Design besloot ik mijn creatieve praktijk fulltime voort te zetten.”

De toekomst

“Mijn droom voor de toekomst is het opbouwen van een solide artistieke praktijk waarin ik mijn kijk op de wereld kan delen door middel van 3D-rendering, beeldhouwkunst en bewegende beelden. Ik wil de grenzen van mijn kunst blijven verleggen en nieuwe ideeën en technieken blijven verkennen. Ik wil ook meer evenementen organiseren die de creatieve gemeenschap samenbrengen, waardoor we elkaar inspireren en de verbinding aangaan. De komende jaren zie ik mezelf niet alleen impactvolle kunst maken, maar ook ruimtes creëren waar kunstenaars kunnen ondersteunen en groeien. Door mijn kunst te combineren met gemeenschapsopbouw, hoop ik een levendige en inclusieve creatieve scene te helpen koesteren.”

Wat vind je van de nominatie?

“Ik was echt verrast toen ik hoorde over de nominatie. Als jonge creatieveling vraag je je regelmatig af of je werk enig verschil maakt, dus het is geweldig om op deze manier erkenning te krijgen. Het geeft me het gevoel dat alle late nachten en het harde werken hun vruchten afwerpen. Deze waardering vergroot mijn passie en toewijding alleen maar nog meer, waardoor ik ertoe wordt aangezet kunst te blijven creëren en met de wereld te delen.”
