LOGICAL BIO
short art
My dream as a kid was to make a living out of my creativity and from the age of 22 I succeeded. A lot of commissioned work in the beginning. Murals, portraits, illustrations and graphic design. In my autonomous work I experimented with paint, spray cans and markers.
Growing up in a rural environment with an huge interest in urban culture, this duality has often been a theme in my work. Also in visual language. Graffiti and the silent horizon, dirty walls and vistas. Paint, brush strokes, dripping aerosols; I love it.
Besides my autonomous work I like to work commisioned . Come up with a solution for a challenge in the public space. Design installations you can experience. Making videos for companies that tell a clear story.
short music
Besides my visual work I’ve always made music. My love for hip hop got me writing lyrics and making beats. I’ve had the chance to do more than 500 live shows, worked with a lot of great artist and developed myself as a person in the process. I became the founder of the Frisian rap and I still make songs.

MY MONOGRAM
did you see it?
The logo that you see on this site, and that I use to sign my digital work with, is a monogram of my name. It is also a reference to an art space. Thinking 360, being open and being clear. Stuff that I find important.
