Jeanine Oostland

Hi and welcome to my Gallery. I create sculptures inspired by the human body. Although human anatomy often serves as the basis for my work, there is a constant search for new forms to express this. Conventional rules such as symmetry and perfect proportions are put to the test, causing the work to explore the boundary between abstraction and realism.
In recent years, I have also taken the step of connecting human forms with nature, in the shape of plants and trees. The sense of calm that people can find in nature, and the importance of that nature, play a role in this. Besides intertwining human and plant forms, I use various coloured pigments to emphasize nature.
In addition, I create smaller works in the shape of donuts and cameras, which can also be hung on the wall.
