Yvonne Kok

F*ck perfect. Be yourself. Shine bright like a diamond.

I’m an artist based in Haarlem, The Netherlands, where I create almost every day from my studio. My work revolves around themes of love, freedom, and the beauty of imperfection. I believe in embracing who you truly are and expressing that raw authenticity through art.

With every brushstroke, I try to break free from convention — rejecting the idea of perfection and instead choosing to shine brightly, just like a diamond. My art reflects my journey to be unapologetically myself and to see the world through a different lens. It’s about capturing the essence of feeling, being, and living outside the box.

Self-educated. I can’t remember when I started painting—I think I fell in love with creating the moment I was born. ;-)
