Arjen IJff (1975) was born in the Mekong Delta in the south of Vietnam and grew up in the low-lying Beemster Polder — A World Heritage Site located north of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
The first three months of his life he was cared by the spouse of the Dutch chargé d’affaires at the residence of the Netherlands Embassy in Saigon during the end of the Vietnam War, before he was adopted in April 1975.
His work is influenced by both his backgrounds.
