User:Ruben de Bruijn
Hello, My name is Ruben de Bruijn and I am a visual artist, philosopher, illustrator & graphic designer.
I am a maker because in my work I can escape to other dimensions and other realms. The making is the most important thing. Getting new ideas from the progress you make. Making is like an escape from normal reality. Also the more you make the more you get to know yourself and what you want and don't want. What you like and don't like. So you create your own identity. My work is a reflection of myself. I'm never sattisfied with what I do. It's never good enough, that's why I keep making because it needs to be better. It will never get to the point where I'm happy with my work but that's okay.
A life without making* is a wasted life. (*in the widest meaning of the word)
Imagination will always be better then reality.
