At the age of 11, Jesse started editing his own photo’s digitally. At 16, he entered the spotlight with his work “Hersengolf” as a participant in Kunstbende, a national contest for upcoming creative talent, and won the second place.

In 2015, he participated in the art manifestation Blauwdruk, a 33-hour marathon where various artistic disciplines were exhibited. There he showed the work “Ervaar het Nieuwe OV” 5 x 3 m in size. In 2016, Jesse became a member of the art collective Arti et Amicitiae in Amsterdam and exhibited two times at the Kunst10daagse in Bergen aan Zee.

In 2019, Jesse graduated from the Utrecht School of the Arts and in the following years, he traveled to Southern Europe and North Africa. He visited central Italy, southern Spain and crossed Morocco. In particular, the different landscapes, especially the Moroccan desert inspired him to incorporate both introspection and the outside world as a source for his surreal work.
