In mid-September, I walked past DGDH and spotted Eva Den Oever there. We'd met before, so I stepped inside for a quick chat. And that's where it happened—conversing naturally, we found our rhythm. Eva would represent my work through DGDH, freeing me to focus entirely on creating new pieces.
Can it happen that fast? Yes.
With full support from Fotovaklaboratorium De Verbeelding and Goedman + Ooms, I dropped off five framed artworks at DGDH on October 9, destined for Art The Hague. Absolutely incredible.
The works are now hanging at Art The Hague—and trust me, in person they're far more stunning than any screen can capture. You really shouldn't miss them.
Each Series Has a Feeling
Every series I create carries its own emotional fingerprint. To truly communicate that feeling, I think deeply about how the work presents itself—not just in content, but in material.
The series "Another Place" carries nostalgia and melancholy. To capture this atmosphere, I print on matte Hahnemühle Bamboo paper and frame it in a quiet walnut wood frame behind museum glass. The matte finish softens the image, letting the viewer sink into memory rather than surface details.
The newer series "Between Shores" evokes longing and summer vibes. Also printed on matte paper, but here I wanted to emphasize transparency and light. This works best on Awagami Bamboo. The frames are bare maple wood, still protected by museum glass to preserve the work.
Within each series, I stick to the same paper type. This keeps them cohesive—and intentionally small in number. Every piece is released in a maximum edition of twelve, regardless of size. This preserves uniqueness while allowing collectors to know they're holding something special.
Why Museum Glass Matters
Museum glass protects your artwork in two ways: directly against touch, oils, and moisture, and indirectly against harsh light. Colors stay true longer. It's a small investment in longevity that makes a real difference over time.
After Art The Hague
If you can't make it to Art The Hague, drop by DGDH instead. Their address is Noordeinde 69-71, 2514 GD Den Haag.
After the exhibition ends, I'm reassured to know my works are in good hands. In the meantime, I'll keep pushing forward with books, zines, and more artistic projects.
Stay tuned.
