Awakening in Flux

I am truly honoured that Studio La Gazelle has invited me to exhibit my art in Blox Amsterdam. 

Blox Amsterdam is a vibrant, digital city, blending the charm of historic Amsterdam with the energy of the metaverse.  One can stroll along glowing canals, explore iconic landmarks, and discover art, culture and stories at every turn. Designed for desktop, mobile and VR, it’s a place to connect, explore, and feel the heartbeat of the Netherlands reimagined for a new era. 

In "Awakening in FLux", I explore the simultaneous presence of stillness and movement, two forces that shape our experience of a world in constant transformation. This exhibition reflects the urgent moment we inhabit: a time marked by rapid change, uncertainty, and the need for deep human adaptation.

Through my iPhone artworks set within a reimagined Amsterdam, I invite viewers to dwell in the tension between pause and flow. It is here, in this dynamic space between opposites, that true awakening unfolds.

The artworks are meditations on perception, connection, and transformation, urging us to slow down and attune, to embrace vulnerability and openness, and to recognize that change is not a threat, but a path toward renewal. By holding stillness and movement together, we can navigate the challenges of our time with presence, resilience, and hope.

With this exhibition I also wish to highlight techno-spirituality, a term that describes the integration of technology and spiritual practice. Digital tools, such as smartphones, apps, or online spaces, are used in ways that promote mindfulness, reflection, connection and inner growth. 

Over time I have transformed the act of taking photos and editing these images on my iPhone into a conscious meditative process. I have learnt to treat my iPhone as an extension of my awareness - like a brush or a pen. My work invites viewers to slow down, reflect and see the sacred, that which is worthy of awe and respect, in the everyday. 

“Awakening in Flux” takes place for the month of October in Blox Amsterdam. The opening and Artist Talk will be on 2 October 2025 at 4pm CET | 10am EST | 11pm JST.

Join us to discover and explore new insights into the changes we as humans are being called to embrace as we face an uncertain future in the light of all that is happening in the world at the moment. 

Update: Studio La Gazelle published an excellent article about the event.

Balanced Forces: NYC

Augmented Reality allows what is intangible to become present, and what is far away to feel close.

Augmented Reality occurs when digital works are layered into physical spaces. By doing so, the gap between your here and my here is bridged, as is the gap between you and me, between your reality and mine. Not only space but also time zones are bridged. In a shared,  augmented space, what separates us begins to dissolve. 

I am honoured that my iPhoneart will be shown in AR in “Balanced Forces: NYC”. This will be an augmented reality public art walk taking place in the heart of New York City on International Peace Day, 21 September 2025.

On that day, the city will become a canvas for voices and visions from around the globe. Visitors will have their realities augmented not just digitally, but emotionally.

Included might be the artworks of artists from unstable or unsafe environments where traditional exhibition opportunities are way out of reach. Physical galleries may be inaccessible, resources scarce, and travel impossible.

On International Peace Day artists in the exhibition and all those who join the public art walk, will be reminded of our shared humanity. 

As strangers pause, lift their phones and enter the world of each artist and encounter their vision, they will see something that is not bound by walls, borders or limits.  They will experience artworks that  have the ability to dissolve distance and to connect people who many never meet in person. They will encounter art that is not confined to gallery walls or limited by geography. 

Art can live in augmented reality, rising in public spaces for anyone to encounter.  

Color Healing

As an iPhone artist, my work explores the interplay of stillness and movement occurring simultaneously. Color Healing is a visual meditation, inviting viewers to experience color as a vibrational force that can restore balance and foster peace. The artwork offers a moment of quiet contemplation amidst motion, and is a reminder of the healing potential found in presence and perception.

The Balanced Forces: NYC art walk takes place between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM EST in Bryant Park and the starting point is Margaritaville Resort, 560 Seventh Avenue, New York  Live Streaming Event. 1 October 2025 > for info

Whispers of White

Inspired by the 1937 film “Lost Horizon”, the epic adventure “Journey to Shangri-La” can be found in the Spatial metaverse - an immersive, online space that can be experienced via laptop, tablet, mobile or VR headset, and in which users represented by avatars interact.

After watching a short film in a movie theatre, visitors to "Journey to Shangri-La" jump into snowy mountains only to discover that their plane has crashed. One now has to find one’s way to safety and serenity in the magical valley of Shangri-La, high in the Himalayas. Here people live in perfect harmony with nature and no one grows old. Via the lamasery of Shangri-La, one discovers how to find exclusive avatars, is directed to a magic boat ride and is also invited to explore the massive mountain terrain with breathtaking views. 

I am very excited to have been invited by Dave Fox, the builder of “Journey to Shangri-La”, to have a solo exhibition in a gallery in this space.

My exhibition ”Whispers of White” is an immersive exploration into the tranquil and ethereal world crafted through the lens of iPhone artistry. As a result of multi-sensory perception, this collection captures the unseen energies and unspoken moments in serene white hues.

”Whispers of White” invites the viewer to delve into a symphony of subtle shades, where every piece echoes calmness and purity. On this unique journey, each artwork whispers its own tale in white, and invites one to experience art beyond sight. 

It is my wish that like a prism separates white light into different colors, the spirit of each viewer may reveal hidden depths within these artworks.

You are invited to visit Journey to Shangri-La and encounter my exhibition.
