My background in cinematic art still comes through in the way I approach illustration. I pay a lot of attention to composition, color, light and rhythm, even in a single frame. For me, visual storytelling is about creating an image that can communicate something without saying a word.

I enjoy moving between different artistic styles and ways of working. My visual style can change quite a lot depending on the project, and I see that versatility as a useful part of the process. It gives me more ways to adapt an image to the story and find the right direction.

I switch between traditional and digital techniques depending on what I want to express. Sometimes it is watercolor and ink, sometimes pencil and pen, sometimes digital painting in Photoshop. I like not being locked into one way of working and letting the technique adapt to the idea.

I pay a lot of attention to color and lighting when I work. A change in palette, contrast or light can completely change the mood of an image. I like using these elements as part of the visual language, not just to make an image look good, but to reinforce its meaning.

Travel has always been a big source of inspiration for me. I have travelled around the world and developed a strong curiosity for different cultures, their art, folklore, history and ways of seeing the world. I draw inspiration from all sorts of places, from dance and cinema to manga, embroidery, video games, sculpture, photography and other things. I like bringing these different influences together and seeing how they find their way into my work.
