Hi, I'm Joshua van Blijderveen, a graphic
designer based in Veenendaal, the Netherlands. I'm currently studying at ArtEZ,
Arnhem. I'm interested in typographic design and photography, but I also enjoy
experimenting with different mediums, tools, and methods. I often embrace
tactile processes like screen printing and other forms of traditional printing,
combining them with digital ventures such as experimental video work and
generative art, allowing for unexpected outcomes and continuous creative
exploration.
With my work, I search for the line between
reality and abstraction. Through experimentation with digital and analog
techniques, my aim is to bring both worlds together by incorporating different
creative areas and practices. I find curiosity in intuitive working ways, the
study of details, searching for new connections, and experimentative practices
that create new possible outcomes.
In my free time, I enjoy practicing the
craft of calligraphy, photography, and collaging, as well as thrifting,
watching movies, experimenting with music, and researching topics that strike
my curiosity.
