Ecofeminist paintings of the unseen threads between consciousness and Earth.
Biografie
My work moves between two interwoven themes: the spiritual exploration of human existence through a mythical lens, and an ecofeminist, socio-political response to the environmental and systemic violence shaping our world today. My ongoing Goddess Portrait series is rooted in archetype and different goddess mythologies around the world where I seek to reveal the hidden layers of identity, resilience, and consciousness, elevating real women into divine portals of divine power manifested in human form. These works honor the sacred within the mundane, bridging personal history with collective memory through ancient symbolic language. Parallel to this, my practice also confronts the trauma inherent in our current ecological and social systems. In these other works, I tend to use discarded materials, found objects, and fragmented imagery in order to address the pressures of capitalism, environmental degradation experienced by different communities and the emotional and spiritual costs of a world which is out of balance. My practice rejects the confinement of a singular style or market-based expectation. Together, these two strands of artistic exploration form a single inquiry: how do we thrive, transmute, and create meaning in the midst of our perpetually changing world? I seek to give voice to my curiosity, my intuition, and my sense of adventure—honoring art as a living, evolving dialogue between self, society, and the unseen forces that shape us all.
Artistieke benadering
My artistic approach is rooted in the belief that mythology can serve as a living language through which we can understand the complexities of the present. I weave together symbolism, archetype, personal experience, and socio-political realities to create works that invite reflection rather than provide answers. Whether working in paint or incorporating found materials, I seek to create images that exist between the visible and the invisible, where contemporary events resonate with timeless narratives.
Technieken en ondergronden
My practice combines painting, drawing, collage, and mixed-media assemblage. I work with oil, acrylic, graphite, found objects, reclaimed materials, and natural elements. Media is selected based on the intention of the piece. I approach materials not simply as formal elements but as carriers of meaning and history.
