Artist from Bruges. Probably overthinking this bio. Draws nudes that whisper instead of shout. Sees the world sideways, but draws it straight. Precision meets poetry (with occasional sip of caffeine).

A stylized painting in white gouache on a deep black background shows the minimal silhouette of a woman, sitting and leaning slightly back. Her form is reduced to bold, angular brushstrokes that define the contours of her face, torso, and limbs. She appears to be waiting, gazing into the distance with a calm yet unresolved posture. The surrounding space is entirely black, emphasizing her isolation and introspection.

She said she'd wait... and she's still waiting.
Turns out, "fashionably late" has no expiration date.

I'm sorry... my autistic brain can't process this info. As long I don't have to pay taxes, I'm fine.

A delicate watercolor painting shows a colorful hummingbird in flight, hovering near a gentle curve of bell-shaped flowers and green leaves. The bird is painted in soft blues, yellows, and reds.

a rustic wooden signpost stands under a blue sky, with multiple blank arrows pointing in different directions, inviting the viewer to choose a path. Both artworks are light and cheerful, suggesting springtime and celebration.

Spring is in the air, and so is this tiny hummingbirdβ€”on a mission to sip joy from every blooming moment. Follow the signs, and you might just land at a celebration full of love, laughter, and cake!

A detailed ink drawing of a reclining woman on toned brown paper. The artwork is done with black and white ink, using fine crosshatching and highlights to create volume and texture. The woman lies on her side with one leg bent and her head resting on her hand, gazing directly at the viewer with a confident, flirtatious expression. Her flowing hair and soft contours are rendered with care, and the lighting accentuates the curves of her relaxed pose.

Drawn in black and white, but she’s clearly trouble in full color. That gaze? Pure inked mischief.

A minimalist drawing of a seated nude figure, turned away from the viewer. The artwork is created using white chalk on black paper, with only highlights defining the shape and form of the body. The contours of the back, legs, and ribcage emerge from the darkness, with soft, expressive strokes that capture the light touching the figure. The absence of detail and background intensifies the sense of introspection and subtle drama.

Mood: dramatic lighting and zero eye contact.

A pastel drawing of a still life composition featuring a soft teddy bear, a red violin case, a pair of metallic toy pans, a small toy boat, and a tiny pumpkin. The objects rest on a rich red fabric, contrasting with the warm tones of the bear and the cool blue shades of the metal objects. The drawing showcases a variety of textures, from plush fur to smooth metal and polished wood, created with only six pieces of chalk.

Six pieces of chalk, countless textures, and one persistent student trying not to smudge everything.
One from the old day's from the academy of Bruges

A monochrome ink drawing on textured paper features a nude woman reclining with one leg bent and her weight supported on her arms. The shading is created with ink washes, emphasizing the contours of her body. The artwork is placed on a wooden surface, accompanied by two black ink pens and an open ink bottle.

A black-and-white ink drawing of a man in a suit who strongly resembles Vladimir Putin. He has a serious expression, but his index finger is deep in his nose as if he’s searching for something. The background is shaded with ink washes, creating a moody atmosphere. The drawing is done in a loose, expressive style with bold lines and minimal detail.

When you’re out of ideas, but you know there’s one somewhere… Maybe it’s not just war he’s digging for.

A graphite pencil drawing of a still life composition featuring several glass bottles and a fallen clay pot on a wooden surface. The drawing demonstrates intricate shading and reflections, capturing the transparency of the bottles and the texture of the pot. Light and shadow are carefully rendered, giving the objects depth and realism. The artwork is clipped to a board, likely in a classroom or studio setting.

A still life, we all start somewhere! This was my first piece of art at the academy, armed with nothing but a 9B pencil and sheer determination.

A four-panel comic strip featuring Snow White. The first three panels follow the classic fairy tale: the prince kisses her awake, they embrace, and share a romantic moment. However, the fourth panel takes a humorous turnβ€”Snow White is outside in the snow, shoveling the driveway alone while looking exhausted. A small snowman watches from the background, adding to the irony of her "happily ever after." The art style is reminiscent of classic animation, with clean lines and flat colors.

Happily ever after... or so she thought. Turns out, true love doesn’t pay the billsβ€”or shovel the driveway. Welcome to the real fairy tale!

A pencil sketch of a person with wild, untamed hair and a thoughtful expression. The shading is bold and expressive, with dark contrasts around the edges and lighter strokes defining the face. The subject’s eyes appear to gaze off to the side, as if deep in thought. A 9B pencil lies at the bottom of the paper, suggesting the tool used to bring this character to life.

Messy hair, genius flair.
