Edith Snoek

Edith Snoek (Holland, 1958) lives and works in Alphen aan den Rijn. She graduated from the Royal Academy of Art in 2003.

Edith is interested in depicting women and girls in her paintings; she also explores the themes of tenderness and vulnerability in her work. The figures in her paintings can be intimate and at the same time alienating, Edith’s artistic process involves layering textures and tones to lend an ethereal quality to her paintings. Her recent ‘Girl Series’ was inspired by Willem Wilmink’s poem, ‘Playing Girls’ which draws upon themes of memory and childhood.

Another reoccurring element in Edith’s work is the placement of associative objects that appear based on her precious memories. She is fascinated by contrasting themes in her images and often likes to include combinations using two or more picture fragments in her compositions.
