Cascade Painting

Born and raised in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, I have always been drawn to the world of creativity and self-expression. My artistic journey began with colored pencils and ink, mediums through which I explored the intricate details of life. Animals have always been a constant source of joy and inspiration for me, and I share my home with three rescue cats who have become cherished companions in my creative space. The path to abstract art, however, came later in life, deeply rooted in personal experiences of loss and transformation. Losing my father at a young age left a lasting impact, and more recently, navigating my mother’s illness opened a new chapter in my life, one that led me to the expressive freedom of painting. Through abstract art, I discovered a powerful and cathartic way to channel my emotions, translating them into color, form, and movement. My work reflects this inner journey, conveying the raw emotions of love, grief, resilience, and hope. Each painting is a deeply personal exploration of the complexities of life, yet I invite viewers to find their own connections and emotions within the layers of my work. I work with extremely pigmented, high quality acrylics, and in every stroke and every shade I aim to create a game of colors where emotions and abstract expressionism come together.
