Gwendolyn Van Der Velden

Working and living between Lisboa and Amsterdam. Installations, painting and ceramics rotate to express concerns I have or encounter by being a woman, mother, artist and of mixed race brings me on an intersection where stories we tell each other deserve a platform. In order to be seen and heard, to the opposite of being invisible, forgotten and eradicated from history
