Background

He is best known for his layered paintings, large canvases in which he combines colorful street posters with spray paint and acrylics.

I always need to live in contrast. So my studio is in the center of Amsterdam, but I live in nature (close to the city).

I was called Gieler when I was a young kid. In graffiti I had a different name otherwise I was easy to catch. Later Gieler became my tag as my work was not on illegal spots anymore.

Music (DJ) and a baby 😉
