About The Artwork

Nadia Murad Basee is a Yazidi Iraqi human rights activist. At the age of 19, IS fighters rounded up the village of Kocho where she lived with her family, killed 600 people while kidnapping the younger women and girls. That year, Nadia was one of the Yazidi 6700 taken into slavery by IS. She was held as a slave, sold, beaten, burned with cigarettes and raped. After three months, she managed to escape and flee to Germany, which became her new home. Ever since, she fights IS. She helped set up a network to help other girls escape, and, together with attorney Amal Cloony, brings IS commanders to trial for genocide, rape and human trafficking. For her work she won prizes like the Sakharov and Nobel Peace Prize. This portrait is one of a series of 13 called ‘Heroes of our time’ about woman who fight for human rights. The series are for sale, not the individual portraits. Price indicated with this portrait will be x 13, for all 13 portraits Half of my earnings will go the portrayed, to support their case.

Born in Amsterdam in 1969, I was trained as a decorative painter and worked doing faux marble finishing, gilding and other decorative techniques while exploring in my own paintings on canvas new ways to paint and express my vision of the world. Today I use traditional oil paint and epoxy resin, among other components, to create thick river stone-shaped canvasses, with a lot of depth, representing organic structures, which I see as the ‘Structures of Life’ and my portraits. Beside my commissioned work, I like to work on an underground layer of broken fresco. The breaking patterns give the portrait depth, like it tells a story of it's own.
