Custom Ode

I translate memories, happenings and achievements into objects. Celebrate passion. Celebrate ambition. Celebrate love.

I’ve been staring out of my window a lot lately.

An X-ray of an idea.

Scent doesn’t float in the air. It lands. On skin, in memory, in the space between. Olfactory Studies II, 2026.

Portrait of Marie Nanette Schaepman.

I’ve had this quiet dream of one day being in Vogue Living.
 And then, back in ’22 — wonder upon wonder — it actually happened. But I wasn’t specific enough.
 I ended up in the background of a spread about Bohiem, a project by friends of mine.
Okay, okay. Lesson learned.

So I made this portrait of their editor in chief as a daily reminder to just do it. To say what I mean.
 To be specific. To show up as myself, with Custom Ode.

One day baby. (I write this while humming ‘Stolen Dance’ by Milky Chance.)

Featured in Het Parool this weekend 📰

About butterflies, a date in Paris, and making moments last forever.

There’s something poetic about being interviewed by photographer duo Chris and Marjan for their final project - they actually met for the first time during a production for my first company, De Nachtvlinders. They became a photography duo and now, about 14 years later, I get to be a part of their very last photography project as a duo.
Capturing me as I am today: transformed from nightlife creative to Legacy Sculptor.

From De Nachtvlinders to Custom Ode, and everything in between. Full circle. 🦋

Sneak peek. 👀

Been quietly working on something for Custom Ode’s 5th anniversary.

It’s the one sense I haven’t explored yet.

Can you guess?
