Osepa’s work is housed in prestigious collections such as the ING Collection, the Rijkscollection,  and the collection of museum Boijmans van Beuningen. Notably, he was nominated for the Volkskrant Beeldende Kunst Prijs and awarded the Golden Calf for Best Short Film at the Netherlands Film Festival in 2022.
