Martijn studied mechanical engineering, law and the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. He paints and makes sculptures out of metal. He has been back in the Netherlands in 2021-2023, after living in Portugal and Spain, but decided to leave again. His style is abstract, experimental and with vibrant colors.
Unlike the sculptures, his painted works are sometimes born of personal interests such as his passion for abstract nudity paintings from the masters. His passion for creating art started already in his teenage years by drawing and creating works of art from old machine parts and residual metal.
Martijn likes minimalism in his work and tries to show expression with minimal and unrealistic details. For the book 'Hidden artists experience the golden age' He painted his daughter as: 'Bridget with the pearl', inspired by the Girl with the pearl earring by the Dutch master Johannes Vermeer.
