We take care of scientific and medical illustrations. To make the invisible visible.
BIO
"Look beyond what you see"
Baboon Rafiki
During my previous studies at Tilburg Academie of Visual Arts I have been working with film and animation.
In the second year at Academy of Visual Art in Tilburg I still considered studying biology instead. But because I am a visually constituted person and images are thus important to me, I always think in terms of images first and only much later in terms of formulas. So my decision was easily made. An images is interesting because you can see everything at one glance, including all the relationships and deeper layers. This stands in contrast to text which you can only experience reading line by line.
A picture tells me more than a thousand words.
At the time I struggled with questions such as: how can clarity come out of chaos and disorder? Where is the boundary between clarity and ambiguity? When is something clear and clear for all?
Science and nature keep on fascinating me. It is both the little things such as quarks and leptons (elementary parts) and the truly big, such as the entirety of the universe that I wonder and marvel at. A good example of this is the movie "The Power of Ten" (1977) by Charles and Ray Eames, which was featured in the Dutch television show 'Zomergasten' (summer guests) at the request of Robbert Dijkgraaf.
It blow my mind! It opened doors to a new understanding.
ABOUT ME
My Background
Since I began in 2010 at the VUmc now Amsterdam UMC as a medical illustrator, I’ve always tried to focus on channeling my talent and creativity into something that produces original, meaningful and powerful results.
​
To draw the unknown. Things that you don't see every day. I am interesting in ghe coherence of the diverse factors of human ability, the functioning of living beings and their self-made creations. I am particularly fascinated by the relation beween one line and the complete image; the connection between the distinctive interpretation and reality; and the movement and the transience of things that are NOW. This has led me to study the content of the human body and the necessary research techniques.
During my five years of studie on the Master Scientific Illustration in Maastricht, I studied tradional methods of illustration in order to provide clear and educational images for scientific purposes.
