Handiedan (SPRANG-CAPELLE, NL, 1981)
Amsterdam, Netherlands

The art of Dutch artist Handiedan involves a complex cut and paste mixture of both digital and highly detailed sculptural hand cut collages, in the form of physical art pieces combined with virtual reality, augmented reality and crypto art.

Like a time traveler, a journey through Handiedan’s art is like traveling thought the Fourth Dimension of Time. Starting with her art technique and use of material: Historical imagery, analogue hand cut techniques vs digital design, augmented and web3 techniques.

Deeply influenced by multi-sexual, scientific and spiritual interests - from Vintage Pin-Up, Pulp, Currency and Letterpress, to Quantum Physics, Cosmology, Numerology, Sacred Geometries and Metaphysics - her art embraces the various forms of vital energy and time endlessly permeating the universe and mirrors the eternal motion of life.

Handiedan started working as a full time mixed media artist in 2007. Ever since, her artwork has been shown in galleries and museums throughout the world as well outside the gallery as large scale wheat paste installations.
