I spend months experimenting with new techniques, navigating a process defined by trial and error—mostly error. It’s in my nature to push the boundaries of my materials, testing their limits until they reveal something unexpected. This approach is costly; many sculptures fail along the way. But occasionally, a piece emerges that feels complete, as though it has weathered and survived the transitions I’ve imposed.

I never thought that Sister & Brother would be my final commission as a painter, but I'm glad it ended on a high note. Growing up with three sisters in a close family gave me a deep understanding of the bond that siblings share. With this painting of a brother and sister, I aimed to capture that essence.

I was interviewed by a Dutch independent ceramics magazine 'De Kleine K', and was also invited to contribute to the KnowHow technical section by sharing my creative process.
