SAPARTISANÉ ART
Welcome to SAPARTISANÉ ART: “He who was born as an artist.” Where paper is transformed into diamonds.
Handmade by Bastiaan van Leeuwen.
Born in the rolling landscape of Stramproy and raised in the lands of red soil and culture: “Tanzania and Guinea-Bissau.” Grown up in Amsterdam, the city whose motto is “Heroic, Determined and Compassionate.”
I bring the combination of different cultures to life in my collages. The cheerfulness of village life in Stramproy. The interconnectedness of people and culture from Africa: “Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu” – I am because we are. And the diversity of the city of Amsterdam.
From a young age I transformed family photos into collages. In Tanzania I learned from nuns how to shape dried banana leaves into images. In Amsterdam I studied visual arts, during high school with collages as my graduation project.
When life hit me hard, creativity brought me back to the light. I turned the black page of my life into bright colors by making collages.
For years now I have been making collages every day, inspired by, among other things, flora and fauna. My specialty is cutting out paper diamonds…

SAPARTISANÉ ART stands apart. Every creation is a reflection of artistic integrity, crafted with passion, vision, and a deep commitment to originality.
These exclusive art collages are one-of-a-kind pieces, printed only once and sold only once to preserve its value and uniqueness. The art collages are crafted from hand-made paper pieces. Meticulously arranged and photographed to capture the in-depth layers and structure.
The final creations are full-color prints on solid 3mm Aluminium Dibond. Measuring A1 size (60x80cm). 100% ready to place on every wall. Bringing elegance and sophistication into any space.
After carefull considerations and experience I chose to use Aluminium Dibond. Paper color shifts rapidly by UV. To preserve the artwork for a life-time and byond. Aluminium Dibond is the best solution.
With this artwork you become the proudly owner of a astonishing one-of-a-kind collector item.
There are no reproductions only unique, authentic works.
This isn’t just paper. It’s precision. It’s passion. It’s geometry gone wild.
At Sapartisane Art, I cut, layer, and build stories, one cut at a time.
My inspiration comes from nature, architecture, geometry, and everyday life from the fragile beauty of plants to the strength of architectural lines. I love working with contrasts: soft vs. strong, fragile vs. lasting, abstract vs. recognizable. With paper diamonds I find it all.
