A bit of law and a bit of French Language, Art and Literature at university
Leiden, The NetherlandsWorking on finding passion between reducing to the essentials and moving from realism to abstraction and finding beauty and connection in a different culture, connecting, beauty by studying it. In the end I can now say that I did this later on in life by moving a lot, traveling a lot, being and connecting everywhere. Finding beauty in other cultures, people, languages and putting it in a home, photos and now paintings.
