Naokosstoop . Since I was little, I was fascinated with creating things on used paper: old books, newspapers, magazines, wrapping paper, letters and envelops. "Brown paperbag collection" came from this fascination. I use used and folded brown paperbags as my canvas. Drawing living things is central to my exploration of life. Combining this with painting, collage, and printmaking, I am trying to create images that project the beauty in life.
