News from Suriname:
As a versatile artist and photographer, I had the privilege of travelling to Suriname three times in 2023, thanks to my work at the Dutch Defence Health Care Organisation. These unique experiences in a country rich in culture and nature, not only enriched me professionally, but also broadened my artistic horizons.
Suriname through the Lens of an Artist
My stay in Suriname gave me the opportunity to capture its vibrant culture and breathtaking nature. The black-and-white photographs I took in Paramaribo offer a timeless view of this historic city. These images show the versatility and beauty of Suriname, a country with a rich history and a promising future.
Operation GRAN MATIE 2023
A highlight of my travels was my involvement in Operation GRAN MATIE 2023. This operation, a collaboration between the Suriname National Army and Dutch defence forces, illustrates the power of international cooperation. My role as a photographer and documentary filmmaker allowed me to capture unique stories and perspectives, both from my colleagues and the local population. This representation offers a deeper insight into the challenges and successes of this operation.
