Hi, I'm Jill!
I’m a Moluccan-Dutch Concept Artist, Visual Development Artist and Illustrator based in the Netherlands. I specialize in environment and prop design across the Games and Animation industry.
Currently, I’m working as an Environment Artist at Battleforged Game Studio while finishing my Animation bachelor at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam.
My art mixes warm light, rich textures, and intricate details with stories inspired by my Moluccan roots. With a sprinkle of cultural identity, history, myths and fantasy. I love exploring meaningful narratives that spark curiosity and magic in our everyday lives.
When I’m not painting imaginary worlds, you’ll probably find me outdoors, watching fantasy films, enjoying Southeast Asian food or spending time with loved ones.
