Ingrid Van Woudenberg

I am a self-taught painter specializing in portraits of women, animals, and the human form. Through my work, I explore the complexities of our time, blending beauty and sensitivity with deeper social reflection.
Each piece is an invitation — to pause, to feel, to question. I strive not only to capture the essence of my subjects, but to awaken emotion and spark meaningful dialogue.
Art is not simply what I do; it is who I am. My entire life has been a journey — a series of trials, discoveries, and transformations — leading me to this moment, where my voice finds its truest expression on canvas.

Through countless hours of practice and exploration, I've discovered that my true artistic voice lies in capturing the essence and beauty of women and animals. These subjects resonate deeply with me, allowing me to convey emotion and storytelling through my work.As I work, I am constantly inspired by the bond between humans and animals, and the strength and wisdom embodied in femininity. I aim to create art that speaks to the heart, evoking a sense of wonder and appreciation for the diversity and beauty that surrounds us. Through my creations, I hope to invite viewers into a world where they can pause, reflect, and find their own stories mirrored in the canvas.
