Papercutting is an all-inclusive art that requires few tools and minimal materials. All one needs is paper, a cutting mat, and a precision knife. Paper itself is an extremely familiar yet versatile material, and it allows for all sorts of creative expressions. 

I particularly enjoy a single-sheet papercutting style. There's certainly some magic in turning a clean sheet of paper into a whimsical illustration. I love the free process involved in working with paper and experimenting daily with new patterns, shapes and colour combinations.

While I believe monochrome papercuts is my primary art style, I love experimenting with other paper crafts, and I share my process here on my website as well on my Instagram page. Recently I discovered the multi-layered paper diorama technique. I enjoy learning and exploring this style.

My papercuts are unique and hand-carved pieces of art. All artworks are made from free imagination and thus there will never be two exactly alike. However, as an overly organised person, I refined my method for creating new artwork: from sketch to final artwork. I wrote a bit about it in my blog (about process and materials). My aspiration for this year is to create a papercutting online course, so more people can learn papercutting craft.

• I am creating papercuts besides my day job. I work as a Lead UX designer. You can check my product design portfolio here (upon request) and my LinkedIn profile here.

• I live together with my partner in a rainy but beautiful country of The Netherlands 🇳🇱🌷

• I enjoy reading high fantasy books, have a small collection of my favourite coffee cups, and own way too many plants (but not enough).
