About
I'm a master of art history & archaeology at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. My research concerns archaeological theory, modern human behavior and contemporary art.
I take snapshots, shoot videos, draw and paint.

One of my all time favorite paintings is ‘Hört auf zu Malen’ by Jörg Immendorff. Only a few days ago I realized that one of my own paintings has many similarities, both formally and conceptually. I won’t elaborate, just see for yourself. Leave a comment if you have opinions about this.

My untitled self portrait:
The best lion in the world
The best lion in the world
This suberb statue of a lion is part of a monument for victims of WWI. You can find it in Walhain-Saint-Paul in the province of Walloon Brabant in Belgium. It’s been there since 1931 and the sculptor is unknown.
“Leave all that can be spared behind; we travel light.”
