In 2005 he started as an art representative in an art gallery in Amsterdam. During those years he traveled the world participating in exhibitions and art fairs for the Art Gallery and found his true passion.

    With his experience, artistic insight and passion for art, he started coming up with designs for his creations. Combining his fantasy with the artistic atmosphere in which he has lived in recent years. There was no boundary between work and play and he started building unlimited modes of digital mix media art. After his first launch in 2017, he made several series of limited editions, which sold out in no time.
