Sieger Duinkerken (1984) is a graphic designer and artist who transformed into a ‘garden pilgrim’ in the artist village of Ruigoord near Amsterdam. In addition to his graphic design, he developed his own unique approach to gardening at Ruigoord, inspired by land art, permaculture, environmental art and spirituality. His work in ‘Vlindertuin Ruigoord’ involves living tree sculptures, poetry signs and romantic seats hidden between the green leafs.

His time in Ruigoord has also influenced his graphic design practice. This resulted in earthier and more playful work. He embraces manual techniques (later often digitally tweaked), which results in organic and magical shapes.
