About

Sieb studied at St. Joost Academy and the Willem de Kooning Academy. After many years living and working in Italy, he has now established his studio in Amsterdam.  ​

​

In his paintings, Sieb explores the human condition and the small stories that unfold behind every face and within everyday life. His characters often inhabit a world that feels familiar, yet at the same time carries something strange, unexpected, or slightly surreal.  

He works with vivid colours, simplified forms, and strong contours and his paintings have a direct, almost graphic quality. Yet beneath this apparent simplicity lies a layered narrative.

Humour and seriousness exist side by side, inviting the viewer to wonder: Who is this person? What is happening here? And what do I recognise in them?  

His work explores imagination, memory, and the ways in which we perceive ourselves and others.

From his studio in Amsterdam, Sieb continues to develop a distinctive body of work in which colourful imagery and intimate human stories come together. ​
