He i’m Xem vermeij
an artist based in hague, who gets his creative drive through telling stories.
Sometimes there are mine stories but also other people's stories.
I was raised by a single mom and my heritage is half Turkish half dutch.
As you scroll through my work you will see that I’m interested in a lot of different Media.
I study illustration Design where I found myself in collage making out of images that I take myself. Recently I’m also focusing on my photography skills to ask myself the question if I really need the collages. I have some Editorial experience in which my work lends itself very well. Outside of my specialty Illustration, I work as Spoken word artist and theater Maker/ Director. In this field I make my own pieces to perform or I work on behalf of people that want a spoken word for their occasion. I work with the theater school Rabarber the Hague as director and teacher. Here I give classes and direct the play BLCKBX. I specialize in Spoken Word and being yourself on stage, telling your own story, how do you get your story to communicate with an audience. To me as a creator that's just so important, that we get to tell our stories and inspire, intrigue or make people feel something.
