Dear visitor,
Â
Thank you for letting me introduce myself. My name is tim breukers, spouse of Mirthe, parent of Immi. The familys main interests are crafting, drinking coffee and exploring the world. Our studio is located at the lively Albert Cuypmarket in Amsterdam.
Â
I grew up in Tilburg in an artist family, creating was a casualty at the kitchentable. My world enlarged during residencys such as the Rijksakademie, European Ceramic Work Centre and MMCA in Seoul. For over a decade I teach on Friday morning Jong Talents at the Royal Academy of Art. My work is included in collections like the Centraal Museum, Design Museum Den Bosch and the Dutch Pinball Museum. Clients for commisioned work are the Amsterdams Fonds voor Kunst and the Royal Dutch Mint.
Â
As an artist I create sculptures, installations and collages. I try to make new, meaningful connections between the material, the situation, and myself. Key factors include scale, humour, narrative, and established sculptural techniques versus makeshift solutions.
Â
I am convinced that art helps give our lives balance. That our lives help art become human and true. This principle is expressed in my work through noumerous projects wich I describe on this site.
