Dare to be Different

In the contrast, you find the essence!

Klaas Lageweg's series of rugs features his typical abstract touch, sharp pixels, and realism that are palpable in the cut-out. His works find a new dimension as a rug: from the wall to the floor, the essence beneath your feet!

My name is Klaas Lageweg (1978). As a visual artist, I create murals and paintings. Art is my means to function autonomously in this society. Creating and developing causes me to experience conflict, euphoria, disappointment and pride. In other words: paint keeps me going.

'Through my work, i am seen for who I truly am, which is what any human being craves.'

I follow my instincts and intuition – in doing so, I get to turn my  ideas into reality. My focus is always on the end result. As I find  inspiration in my day-to-day environment, my work generally contains an  observational outlook. In combining seemingly opposing forms, such as  realism, pixel art and abstractions, I am always pushing the boundaries.
