Meet the Artists
An enormously talented group of people bring their unique vision and skill to the art that adorns Nieuw Statendam. Learn about these individuals and how they approach their work.
Jason Krugman
Sometimes an artist must devise new materials to bring an artistic vision to life. Jason has done exactly that, using hand-made, low-voltage LED lights to create meditations on the nature of light and how it affects our perspective.
Sandra Spannan
Consider the endless possibilities of glass. Using silkscreened, marine-inspired designs and 22k Florentine gold-infused gelatin water to create an antique mirrored surface, Sandra manipulates glass panels into dynamic works of art.
David Leventi
Inspired by his grandfather’s dreams of performing, David created a series of 50 photographs, shot from the singers’ perspective, in the world’s most iconic opera houses. He used a large-format camera and extremely long exposure.
