I am a visual artist and graphic designer rooted in social and moral awareness, working in the transitional space between Curaçao and the Netherlands. My work creates visual narratives around urgent societal themes such as identity, heritage, social consciousness, and self-awareness and maintains an ongoing dialogue between the personal and the public.

I know I can't solve the world’s problems, I can use my practice to inform, confront, and provoke reflection. By layering personal anecdotes and archival materials, I develop a multi-layered visual language in which text, print, and photography work together to mirror societal dynamics and encourage deeper engagement. The archival materials I work with are mostly comic books, which I deconstruct into a visual database that feeds directly into my practice. By breaking down the pages, panel by panel, textbalon by textbalon, I uncover narrative structures, visual rhythms, and graphic languages that inform my own way of telling stories through design.My research and working process blends digital research, archival materials and media sources with hands-on fieldwork alongside living practitioners. I learn through interpersonal connections and communal gatherings, translating those experiences into spatial installations, hand-bound books, and prints. 

I prefer a black-and-white aesthetic, for its powerful contrast and clarity. Everything I do, from typography, layout design, print to the craftsmanship of installations, centers around one question: How can I use graphic design to bring my research to life and communicate my research with others? This ongoing interplay between content and form turns each publication, object, or installation into an open invitation for conversation.
