José Sintnicolaas is a Dutch artist living in Tilburg, Brabant. After a fulfilling business career in recruitment she went to the Art Academy in Belgium and followed art history courses at Tilburg University at the same time. When she moved to Shanghai in 2012 she started working full-time as a professional artist and her journey began. For 10 years she has lived Shanghai, Singapore and Italy . Recently she returned to the Netherlands and draws inspiration from her experiences and the many other countries she has travelled to. During the years in Asia she became aware of the massive pollution, destruction and overconsumption on earth. The impact of her experiences resulted in developing her series ‘Earth’, a celebration of planet earth, being destroyed by humans rapidly. José works are mixed media and she is using materials such as glass, sand, stones and paper. With rough pieces of glass and other materials she creates a rough surface so the viewer can feel as one would experience in nature. She exhibited in China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Italy, Belgium and The Netherlands. Her artworks are in collections all over the world: Japan, China, Australia, USA, Canada, UK, Singapore, Belgium and the Netherlands.
