Based in Naarden, the Netherlands, this Dutch painter’s practice centers on experimentation with materials. Working primarily in oils and acrylics, they incorporate organic substances such as grass, twigs, thatch, seeds, sand, dried flowers, and seaweed, bound together with bitumen and binders. The resulting landscapes are built up in thick, tactile layers, with surfaces formed through processes of layering, scraping, and embedding. Texture is fundamental, and the paintings are defined by an earthy, muted palette of browns, ochres, grays, and faded blues and greens, evoking memory and the enduring presence of nature.
