Klara-Marie Den Heijer

As an oil painter I am interested in the convention of landscape painting and the sense of nostalgia, unheimlich and of the sublime that it can evoke. The genre of landscape paintings often relates to questions of ownership or - in the context of my work – feelings of belonging.
