From my perspective, art has the unique ability to reflect on the past and/or the present, thereby providing us with valuable insights for our future.

​​​​

During my art history studies at Utrecht University (BA and MA, 2012-18),  I mainly researched twentieth-century Dutch and Spanish art. After graduating, I started working in the field of contemporary art as well. I love working with artists. My year at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague (2010-11) allows me to empathize with (starting) artists and to understand the artistic process.​

 

​Furthermore, I’m deeply interested in Spain's multifaceted social and political history, and the way this is reflected in contemporary Spanish society. I experienced this several times, when I lived in Salamanca (2011), Valencia (2012), Barcelona (2020-21) and Sevilla (2023-24 and 2025). The Netherlands and Spain share a significant history, and in my work I endorse the strengthening of the connection between the two countries. ​​

​

I enjoy working through personal contact. I have a down-to-earth, open-minded attitude and an open communication style.​​​​​​​​ Topics I'm currently interested in include: our collective historical memory, art in public space, migration and cultural exchange and social entrepreneurship. However, I'm a curious person, so I'm open to new ideas and perspectives.
