I’m Rianne, a contemporary painter based in the Netherlands. I create figurative abstract works that explore the emotional layers of personal growth, vulnerability and healing.

My paintings are built from soft shapes, flowing curves and rich colors. Female figures are often at the center of my work, not as portraits but as reflections of inner landscapes. Each piece is inspired with a memory, an emotion, or a moment that shaped me; a feeling of being stuck, the pain that comes with change, or the quiet struggles that shape us.

Painting brings calm to my mind, it helps me reconnect with a slower rhythm. One that feels more human, more honest.. It’s how I make sense of what I feel, especially when I can’t put it into words. It has always been my way of expressing emotions and turning them into something that works for me. Through my work, I hope to offer a sense of recognition and softness. Maybe you see a story in it, or maybe just a feeling, I’m always moved by how others experience my art in their own way.

My dream is to keep growing as an artist, to exhibit more, and to create work that feels both personal and universal. I’ve held myself back for a long time, but now I feel ready to share what I make with the world.

I’m currently working on a small collection of art prints. Originals and commissions will also be available soon. If you’d like to be the first to hear when new work is released, feel free to leave your email below.
