Ruben Osinga

 

 

Born in Amsterdam, 1989

 

 

Abstraction, theatrics and a touch of surrealism are the common threads throughout the objects i create.
Playing with, and hopefully to some extent redefine, our perception by visually emulating and/or deconstructing –
`objectivating´ – topics from the past and present, things that are always current to me.
