Petra-Puk Bresser (known by all simply as Puk) is a female installation & visual artist. Born in The Hague – the Netherlands (1972).
From an early age she is into drawing, painting, photography (old, analogue techniques) and philosophy. During her childhood she moved almost every two years. These frequent changes, clearly formed her. She’s outgoing and openly curious about anything, everything and everyone.
During her early twenties she started to travel and live abroad for about ten years. Working as an outdoor- and scuba instructor, she literally played with the experience of 3D. Being adventurous she pushed the boundaries during scuba diving. This ultimately let to a forced change of carrier and let her back to an old love; the arts.
As a late bloomer she started to study in thirties (Fotovakschool Amsterdam) and forties (Royal academy of fine arts, Antwerp)
