Lizzy Geurts Van Kessel

Fascinated by the wisdom of the body and the emotions that accompany it. We are here simply to experience—to remember that we are energy, light, and nature—and to give this an earthly expression. Through her work, Lizzy seeks to engage in a dialogue with the viewer, the listener, or the person who feels. Art can foster a (deeper) connection with our bodies and with one another—connecting us to each other's emotions and situations, or even to different eras.
As art historian Rudi Fuchs said: "Images exist to help us see."
Lizzy’s challenge is to combine this in her work using both traditional craftsmanship and contemporary techniques. In 2019, she began tattooing alongside her painting practice. It is a beautiful way to create art on the body consciously, complementing her work as an artist. Here, too, energy and the connection to the body converge; Lizzy’s tattoos are experienced as transformative, healing, and deeply felt.
This is precisely the point: that art can remind us of our essence—of who we truly are.

School of Arts, Tilburg
Sint Lucas, Boxtel - specialism restauration and decoration.
Lizzy started crafts studies at St.Lucas Boxtel, where she specialized in restoration and decoration. This gave Lizzy the knowledge of many techniques and materials. Real craftmanship. In the search for more depth in her work Lizzy later enrolled for a study at the School of Arts in Tilburg, where she subsequently graduated cum laude for her autonomous work and as an arts teacher.
Next to making her own work, Lizzy likes sharing and combining creativity and images and questioning the relationships between them. Next to her artworks, she has her own private tattoo studio since 2019.
