THE WORLD IS YOURS - SOLO EXHIBITION
On September 20 (2024), I opened my solo exhibition 'The World is Yours' at Podium Explore in Leeuwarden, inspired by my residency in Barcelona. During my time in this vibrant city, I sought out places that capture Barcelona's energetic atmosphere, focusing on the lively DIY culture of the skate, surf, and graffiti scenes.
During my walks through the city, I captured everything that crossed my path: from tags and paste-ups on walls to the people and animals I encountered. The photos I took serve as the foundation for my colorful paintings and prints. The result is a series of urban collages that celebrate the vitality of Barcelona and the interconnectedness of its youth.
