About the artist
Jaap van den Elzen
Jaap van den Elzen was born in 1977 and grew up in Boxtel. From skateboarding to Design Academy Eindhoven, where he successfully graduated in 2004, he rolled into the world of light art. Working for companies, governments, and individuals, he creates light installations that transcend boundaries. His work spans various domains: museums, festivals, or public spaces. In each location, the environment becomes part of his light art. From architectural structures to swaying trees to chance passersby, they all play a role in his creations. His work is known for its immersive sensory experiences. Visitors are enveloped and submerged. Despite the often abstract nature of his work, where geometric forms take center stage, he draws inspiration from nature.
