Ferry van Tongeren and Jaap Sinke met in 1994 while working as advertising creatives at Ogilvy & Mather in Amsterdam. Since 2013, they've collaborated on fine art under the name; Darwin, Sinke & van Tongeren. Placing the name of Charles Darwin before their own is a tribute to the great naturalist and geologist.
