Carolien Wissing

Carolien Wissing (1976) makes canvases in a sober color palette, on which major architectural, abandoned buildings and landscapes can be identified. Twenty years ago Carolien moved from the countryside to the city to study at the Academy of Fine Art. She graduated as an ‘Architectural designer’ but during her study she found out, she was much more fascinated by absorbing the atmosphere of environment. Carolien gets inspired by the peri-urban fringe where the existence of culture fades and slowly merges into the landscape of nature.
