About my work
From 2001 untill now i've a working as a freelance webdeveloper.
Telling computers what to do (programming) has always been a part of my work (artisticly and professionally).
Objects and installations always involve some level of mechatronica or robotics. Although very inspiring, these works are difficult to produce and even more difficult to maintain.

In order to speed things up and find a new approach i picked up drawing again in 2005.
Charcoal and paper vs variables and functions. With a group of fellow artists we draw live models.

I love the directness of drawing. This made me looking for a connection between this type of drawing and 3d modelling software.In these computergraphics i am looking for the quality of the classic nude and the possibilities of the virtual space.
