Arno van den Akker (1978, Haarlem) graduated at the Willem de Kooning Art Academy in Rotterdam. As an art-director in advertising he got tired of the work ethics and left the commercial scene for the hate and love of it. During a period of psychological mayhem and other trauma’s, he unfortunately got the wrong medicine, and ended up with FND (Functional Neurological Disorder)
A proven treatment of self-hypnosis started. But soon he found out that the only way to tackle the tremors, was by stepping out of his comfort-zone and restore motor skills with art and crafts, while looking for a steady hand.
Nowadays Arno likes to explore the boundaries of both science-fiction as well as the -facts, magic realism, surrealism and cubism in art and furniture.
Quote Arno:
‘In my opinion every idea, from design to more important inventions, starts out as fiction and through hard labour that narrative of creativity can become a worthy added value to real science or real adventures at least.’
Arno is currently working on a novel, furniture and of course his dreamy art. Feel free to browse around in this digital realm and check out some vivid projects. About availability: If there is a price mentioned it is for sale.
