Echt Arts

Echt is a Dutch word that represents my heritage, where I was born and raised. It stands for real, genuine, and authentic.

My layered artworks transform quiet moments, memories and everyday beauty into pieces that invite people to pause, look closely and feel.

My works are abstract and recognisable, expressive and connected to reality, emotional rather than purely decorative.

In one word ‘Echt’.

Memory Prints

Working with my own stories reflected in my painting brought me to creating memory prints by listening to and working directly with your stories.

I turn your personal photos and precious memories into handmade gelli prints. One-of-a-kind, unique, authentic. In one word ‘Echt’. It becomes your emotional keepsake, either for yourself or as a thoughtful gift to a loved one.

This is not a digital filter. It is a slow, thoughtful, and tenderly interpreted response by the Echt Arts hand.

A handmade response to something that matters deeply to you.

My style and materials remain constant.

My diversity comes entirely from my process and my responsiveness to the canvas. I let each painting dictate its own path.

By listening to the paint, observing a layer, and waiting, I let the canvas tell me what to do next. I respond directly to the medium, letting the execution happen spontaneously based on emotion.

This creates a true dialogue between myself, the feeling, and the materials, leading to varying levels of detail each time. Ultimately, my own memories, emotions, and personal stories are always reflected in every work.
