Artist Statement

​Art makes me look at the world with different eyes.

I'm a Spain based Dutch artist painting intuitive colorful art.
​My art and daily time in my studio brings me happiness and joy. It's an outlet for my emotions and lets me recharge my battery.

My paintings are inspired and influenced by many things from my daily life, such as poems, emotions, Swedish stonewalls and nature. I paint with mostly with acrylics, but also use acrylic pens, ink, oil pastel and more. I paint intuitively and often I start a painting with a written poem as a first layer, followed by many more layers, with nature inspired details, drips and organic forms.

Having lived in different countries is giving me so much inspiration, from all the different landscapes, climates and their vegetation. Also, painting is my way of healing from the loss of my father, dealing with anxiety and all the other ups and downs in life. All of these experiences influence my color palette and my mark making. They guide me through the process of creating art.

With my paintings I hope I can inspire you to explore, whether that would be through one of my paintings on your wall or through following one of my workshops.
I would feel very honored and be very grateful knowing my art is a part of your daily life.
