Biography
Born on 25-07-1992 in Almere, the Netherlands
As a child I began to paint, most of the time I painted animals. At my home we always had cats, I can say that I just love cats in the way they are. Especially the big cats and also wolves. My passion for wild animals was there from the beginning since I saw a documentary about them. So my love for big cats and wolves started to grow.
In my paintings I can create everything that I like. I have a great imagination about fantasy stuff. That's when I started to make fantasy animals, like big cats with puffed hair and big claws or demons. My animals came along with stories that I made up, and later became something more when a couple of friends liked my stories and wanted to join them. We made stories together and created characters in different worlds.
Some people say that I need to paint more than just animals. I know that your mind has to be open for almost everything and it's better if you can paint every subject. But I have my first choice, and that will be my fantasy animals that I paint the most.
My dream? To become a great artist with my own line of paintings.
