Ilse Duijn

Duijn was raised in Amsterdam, painting since she could hold a brush and fascinated by human connection, contrasts and relations. Her lines are round, her works harmonic. She is a fulltime artist since 2020, located in the Southbay. Her expressionistic and modern paintings visualize the connection humanity is losing with itself. Connection in love, soul and spirit that will lead you closer to who you need to be.

She is a loving, living being that creates beauty and harmony through art. Through her works, she is sending out a message about unity, tolerance and inclusivity. In a time where so many of us are trained to be disconnected, Duijn would like to go back and contribute to repairing this.

By bringing softness, playfulness, exhibitionism and serenity through her works, she hopes you will find a way back to freedom and the beautiful being you truly are.
