Projects: My work exists out of small sculptures and dioramas. The creatures in my work seem to be frozen in time, like they are taken from a film-still.

Location: Eindhoven, Netherlands

The creatures he believed to be fairy tales, myths. Oh, if only he could take a closer look! So he started swimming real fast, as fast as a great white that just smelled blood. "Mermaid! Mermaid, hello!" But she did not hear him. So when he got closer, he suddenly realized the tusk on the front of his head had grown to it's full potential...
