Education
Although formal education and conventional credentials are often seen as key measures of an artist’s integrity and social standing, Levi van Huijgevoort is a high school dropout and does not possess secondary qualifications.
From his teenage years as a rebellious adolescent, alternative worlds of art and music have captivated his full attention and shaped his outlook.
It is within these nontraditional spheres that his development, performative approach, and visual art have taken root and continue to evolve. Levi remains a self-taught artist.
