Tessa Melanie De Graaf

I am a sponge, I absorb the world around me.
In the process of creation I feel the freedom to express all that I am.
My work is about the struggles and darkness in our lives & the beauty of imperfection. Intuition helps me to transform feelings of frustration, anger, sadness, dissatisfaction into figurative art pieces. I never know beforehand exactly what I will create. It’s just me & my materials, losing track of time.
