About
Equine art is often dismissed as nostalgic or purely aesthetic.
Approached through contemporary art thinking, it becomes something else entirely:
a reflection of history, identity, and our evolving relationship with horses.
At the heart of my work is the relationship between concept, context and connection.
I am interested in how meaning is formed, how work is positioned, and how it is experienced by different audiences.
I founded Paard Verzameld in 2016 to create space for this approach.
With more than a decade of experience as a curator and consultant, I work to position equine art within the wider contemporary art
world and to support artists and projects at key moments of development.
My practice sits at the intersection of curatorial thinking, exhibition development and professional guidance. I collaborate closely
with artists, institutions, collectors and organisations who take equine art seriously and understand the importance of clarity,
relevance and cultural positioning.
Over the years, Paard Verzameld has grown into an internationally connected practice, shaped by dialogue, long term relationships,
and a shared commitment to thoughtful, well positioned work.
Whether through exhibitions, independent projects or one to one curatorial conversations, my focus remains the same: close attention
to the work, its context, and what it needs in order to move forward.
