Here's an ultra short artist statement !

Ate Von Hes turns everyday stuff into playful, surprising art. He mixes humor, imagination, and odd combinations to make people see the world with fresh eyes. His works dance between the ordinary and the absurd, full of energy and curiosity. Nothing is too serious—but everything is alive with meaning and mischief. 

ps he also worked in shiplbuilding, as a blacksmit, welder, outdoor neon and sign maker, graphic designer, Dj, boardmember and Emmaus volunteer.
