Псевдодокументализм. [email protected] Sharing my art with others is a passion of mine, and I frequently participate in international exhibitions.

I am a mixed media artist based in Amsterdam, specializing in coming-of-age photography and images created using Artificial Intelligence. My work involves experimenting with diverse photographic techniques, including cyanotype, collodion, and instant photography. My pieces have been showcased in cities such as London, Amsterdam, Paris, Copenhagen, and Seoul. Through my art, I delve into themes lik

e the Eastern European mentality, the feeling of not belonging, and the insider-outsider perspective.

WEEK 34: "FROM ME, TO ME"

This week's set of stamps comes from a mix of small everyday moments and bigger events. I climbed onto the roofs of my hometown, repaired my shoes, went to SAIL 2025, saw some mice at the airport and ended the week cuddling with piglets. Each of these moments was captured on my phone and turned into one of the seven daily stamps for week 34.

Every day I select a single photo from my camera roll and make it into a real postage stamp. They're printed in the Netherlands with offset in CMYK on gummed paper with phosphor coating. Each image exists only in a limited edition of one and comes as a strip of five identical stamps.

The full set for week 34 is now available and can be ordered through the link in bio.

WEEK 33: "FROM ME, TO ME"

Every day I choose one photo from my phone's camera roll and turn it into a real postage stamp, printed and postable from the Netherlands. The stamps are produced with offset in CMYK on gummed paper with phosphor coating. Each image exists only in a limited edition of one, and comes as a strip of five identical stamps.

This week I explored some pottery, went horseriding, visited the cinema, joined a dinner at , scanned new Polaroid pictures and cycled through Dutch landscapes. These small fragments became the images for week 33, now available as a complete set.

You can check it out and order through the link in bio.

WEEK 32: "FROM ME, TO ME"

Every day this week, I selected one photo from my phone's camera roll and turned it into a real, official postage stamp from the Netherlands. These are not digital files — they're regular stamps you can use to send mail.

Every weekly set includes:
• 7 different stamps (one for each day)
• Each design is a unique edition of 1
• 5 identical stamps per design

The project focuses on everyday photos that usually stay in the phone and never get printed. Here, they become physical and collectible. The full set for week 32 is now available (link in bio).

WEEK 31: "FROM ME, TO ME"

This is a long-term project where I turn everyday moments into something physical: real postage stamps. Every day, I select one photo from my phone's camera roll — not necessarily the best one, just the one that feels right — and print it as an official, postable stamp from the Netherlands.

Each image is printed using offset technique in CMYK on gummed paper with phosphor coating. These are not digital mockups — they're actual stamps you can stick on a letter and send.

Every weekly set includes:
• 7 different images (one per day)
• Each image comes in a limited edition of 1
• You get 5 identical stamps per image

The goal is to pay attention to the kind of images we normally overlook — the ones that sit quietly in our camera rolls and rarely make it to print. With this project, I turn them into something collectible and tangible.

The full set for week 31 is now available. You can check it out (and order) via the link in bio.

WEEK 30: "FROM ME, TO ME"

Every day, I choose one image from my phone's camera roll and turn it into a real, functioning postage stamp — printed in the Netherlands and ready to send. It's a way to slow down and give weight to the fleeting, the overlooked, the small.

Each week, a new set of stamps is released, printed in offset (CMYK) on gummed paper with a phosphor coating. Every daily image exists as a limited edition of 1, with 5 identical stamps produced per day.

This is week 30 — the second chapter in this growing archive of the everyday. You can find this week's edition via the link in bio.

NEW LONG-TERM PROJECT: "FROM ME, TO ME"

Every day, I select one photo from my phone's camera roll and turn it into a real postage stamp, printed and postable from the Netherlands. The idea is simple: to pay attention to everyday life, to what usually goes unnoticed.

Each week, I produce a new stamp edition, printed with offset in cyan, magenta, yellow and black, on gummed paper with phosphor coating. Each daily image comes in a limited edition of 1, with 5 identical stamps per day.

It's a growing archive of the small things — documented and made physical. The first stamps (week 29) are now available. Find them via the link in bio.

De tentoonstelling is gratis toegankelijk en loopt tot 28 september. Je kunt gewoon binnenlopen, de galerie is een open ruimte in het centrum van Haarlem en maakt deel uit van Doopsgezind Haarlem ().
