His career path was influenced by mentors like Jurgen Bey, colleagues like Bertjan Pot, and artists like Erwin Wurm.[4] He attended the Design Academy Eindhoven and lives in Utrecht.[5] His work often relates to his youth, where Baas works to "balance skilled technicality with the purity of child’s spontaneity."
