WHY THE NAME ZESTI?
‘ZESTI means with great enthusiasm and energy, having zest for life and I hope those qualities are visible in my work and life.
I started using ‘Zesti because I wanted to use a name that was easy to pronounce for everybody. Lately I’ve been using my own name more and more too.
Studio
For the biggest part of the year I live and work in Antwerp, Belgium. I love my city, through out centuries it’s been a home to many creative people and to this day it is buzzing with artistic activity.
I have a little studio in my apartment with a relatively basic set up – a MacBook Pro and an iPad Pro, sketch books, pens, pencils and paints, printer, scanner, camera, …
For a small part of the year, usually during the cold winter months I like to travel to warmer and more exotic regions. One of my favourite places to stay in those dark winter months is the sleepy town of Nong Khai along the banks of the Mekong river in the north east of Thailand.
Luckily my set up during traveling is more or less the same as at home – MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, phone camera, pencils and pens and sketchbook.
