I painted this chair when I was in Pangandaran Indonesië. I painted in the morning and went surfing in the afternoon. The chair is painted inside-out: First layer orange, then the dark transparant brown/orange chair, no lines, only volumes. And the last layer is a transparent orange again around tje chair. So the light that appears to be the outline of the chair, is there because they are NOT painted. The chair is painted on Indonesian canvas, stretched back home on  steady wooden frame. Sides painted, no frame necessery, ready to hang.
In my studio. Picture by Merijn Soeters.

The start of my life was rough. I developed strange ways to survive: I pretended to be just fine, I acted unbreakable and smiled. Although I’m not bothered by my past anymore, these ways became a part of me and ooze through in my work. I’m a clown but also deeply hate injustice and everything that’s fake and dishonest. That is exactly what my work is about, I show the happy side, I chase true joy and energy and at the same time vulnerability and honesty. It is very double. But art is easily unmasked when it is not sincere. My work is about reality and the fragile bright side. I was educated at the art academy ArtEZ in Arnhem. My work can mostly be found in Amsterdam. On the street (I do a lot of street art) and in many exhibitions. One of those is at the Amsterdam Museum, that has five pieces by me: they acquired two from my project ‘Art at the Scrapyard’, and they have two pieces of street art in their collection which they 'stole'. (They also bought the ticket she received for illegally posting her work through Amsterdam.)
