André Brocatus is a Dutch designer and artist focused on clarity, simplicity, and joy — in his work, images, and life.

My work moves between two closely related practices: design, where clarity makes complexity work, and art, where reduction opens new ways of seeing. Both are driven by the same question: what happens when you remove everything that stands in the way of understanding?

Design — clarity that works

In my design practice, ABDC (Andre Brocatus Design Consultancy), I help organizations translate complex offerings, data, and processes into clarity you can see, use, and act on.

I work at the intersection of strategy and design — shaping identities, digital experiences, and executive communications that make ideas understandable, systems usable, and decisions easier.

Clarity here is not simplification for its own sake. It is how design becomes effective.

Art — minimalism expands meaning

In my art practice, XNDRE, I explore how meaning emerges through reduction and isolation — removing noise, extracting the essential, and discovering what reveals itself in that space.

Through conceptual minimalist work, I reinterpret the familiar to spark recognition, surprise, and a sense of freedom and joy.

Clarity here is not about function.
It is about truth, play, and perception.
