Sea Life Collection

The Power of the Underwater World

The Sea Life Collection was born from my deep connection to the sea, a feeling that has always been part of me.

For ten years, I lived on a houseboat in Amsterdam. The reflection of sunlight on the sea or water always brings me peace of mind. That shimmering light feels almost magical to me. It gives me that familiar sense of coming home.

Zandvoort, where I spent time as a child, still holds a special place in my heart. I visit often, the beach feels familiar, the sea brings peace, and it’s a place full of memories, close to people I care about.

Later, I became more and more aware of the power and mystery of what lies beneath the water’s surface. Together with my niece, I got my diving license in Malaysia. We went diving in Thailand, Cuba, Venezuela, and Indonesia. I also explored the underwater worlds of Africa and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

Underwater, everything slows down. You breathe more calmly, fully present in the moment. The silence, the colors, the movement it’s as if you’ve entered a different world. That experience left a lasting impression on me.

This collection reflects what that world does to me: the calm, the wonder, and the special feeling that arises beneath the surface.

Fashion Coral

This work is a tribute to the beauty of coral reefs. While diving, I truly realized how refined, colorful, and unique coral is a living landscape full of intricate detail.

Yet these reefs are disappearing in more and more places. How painful it is that something so breathtaking can be so fragile.

With this piece, I want to show not only how beautiful coral is, but also raise awareness about the importance of protecting our underwater world.

Fashion Fishes

Inspired by tropical fish in every color and contrast you can imagine. While diving, they sometimes swam past me in shimmering schools.

Each time, I was amazed by how vibrant and striking they were. This piece is about that experience the peaceful feeling of being surrounded by the underwater world, and the wonder that comes with it.

Fishes Fantasy

A fantasy world full of fish, colorful, playful, and slightly surreal.

In this work, I let my imagination run free. It’s based on how it feels to dive: like stepping into a different reality, an underwater world full of life, color, and movement.
