Art writing

ABOUT ME

I am fascinated by language. It is the most powerful tool to express anything you want. I also love art. To me, art is an embodied experience. When writing about art I share what a specific artwork or exhibition does to my mind and body. By looking closely, raising questions, listening, and taking time to reflect, I share my experience and views with the readers and invite them to look at the world in a slightly different way.

 

With a background in language and arts & culture, I support artists and organisations including museums, galleries and media/publishing groups. I write and edit a variety of content for the web and print including articles, columns, interviews, reviews, essays and press releases. My working languages are English, Dutch and Portuguese.
