Biography

“Inge is a Dutch painter who has been working as a professional visual artist since 2005. Inge studied at the Utrecht Art School (1992-1995) and she studied Cultural Anthropology at the University of Amsterdam (1995-1998).
After living in Spain for 10 years, she currently lives and works in the Netherlands. She participates in cultural exchanges, exhibitions and artist in residencies, and loves to travel, as it provides the perfect backdrop for expressing her twin passions of people and art. Inge is always training her eye, observing and focusing on people in their different environments.

Inge sees something remarkable in most things, in everyday life, experiences, landscapes, animals, people. She shows her observations by painting only the essential elements, the characteristics. She isolates them and places them in a new context. In her drawings a lot is said by what is not drawn, sometimes only the essential is shown in a few lines.
Her minimalist style is evident in her artworks in ink and in her layered paintings in a sober palette. Inge alternates periods of concentrated minimalist work with exuberant figurative abstract works in colour and paint.
Her techniques, combined with the use of often wooden panels or recycled used sails as her canvas, are an integral part of Inge’s recognisable style.
By exhibiting her work, sharing it online and teaching, Inge inspires people to change their perspectives. Her work has been acquired by museums and private collections and has been exhibited internationally at various art venues and events.”
