From a young age, my father believed that computers were the future. My natural tools for translating thoughts have become my keyboard and my mouse. I use all the resources necessary to bring my ideas to life.
All my life, I have transformed my emotions into products, products I needed and others could enjoy. Now it’s time to start a new chapter. It’s time to tranfsorm my feelings into art.
These images reflect my feelings and thoughts—strong yet simultaneously vulnerable. I use color, diverse styles, and various animals and objects to amplify my expression.
I draw inspiration from what occupies my mind at the moment of creation. The quest for peace and harmony in a world filled with complexity. Rest in Karma—the ability to find peace in what you do or have done. A tribute to my father’s name: Rik.
- The tangible product serve to give the image more soul and added strength.
- The size, type of frame, and choice of materials reflect my personal taste—authentic and limited.
- The pieces are available in various sizes and formats for those who identify with my emotions.

The Ram embodies strength, courage, and self-awareness, a symbol of primal energy and individual power. The distorted serpent represents darkness, an enigmatic shadow in contrast to the Ram's vitality. The rich-colored horns stand for the multitude of thoughts, twisting and spiraling, each hue a fragment of the mind’s labyrinthine depths. The intricate patterns convey the very essence of life.

ISRAËL - PALESTINA IN ONE PICTURE
Weapons don’t kill; people kill. A part of yourself dies each time you do harm. This weapon symbolizes karma—a weapon where, when you pull the trigger, you also wound yourself. A weapon that works in both directions.
MASK
2024 | 100 X 100 cm | ROTTERDAM | 1/1

N.A.R
2024 | 120 X 70 cm | ROTTERDAM | 1/1
The clown, the jester, the one who wraps the truth in a joke to gently inform those he loves. An ungrateful task. A figure of stark contrast, with vulnerability and strength reflected differently in each eye. A surreal image.
