Timothy Voges (CW, 1993) obtained a Bachelor's degree in Fine Art from the HKU University of the Arts Utrecht. In the years following his graduation, Timothy has continued to develop his artistic practice, focusing on forgotten images and stories found in his collection of old books, magazines, and photographs from the Antillean archive. Nostalgia plays an important role in Timothy’s work. He approaches it as a powerful emotional trigger—capable of evoking a longing for the past and a yearning to relive memories, experiences, and stories that have faded over time. Through his process of image manipulation—using collage—and oil painting, he breathes new life into these forgotten fragments of time. At the same time, he weaves cultural elements from his homeland and background into his work. In doing so, we are invited to immerse ourselves in a world of lost time and forgotten stories, and to reflect on our own relationship with history and collective memory.
