Bastienne

Bastienne is a contemporary artist based in the Netherlands, whose work is recognized for its evocative exploration of identity, memory, and the subtle interplay between the personal and universal. Working primarily across painting and mixed media, Bastienne draws inspiration from the Dutch landscape, urban environments, and the rich art historical traditions of her homeland, blending these with modern techniques and sensibilities. Her artistry is characterized by a sensitive use of color, layered textures, and an intuitive approach to composition that invites viewers into contemplative states.

Having exhibited widely in the Netherlands and across Europe, Bastienne’s work reflects both the quiet introspection and vibrant dynamism of the world she inhabits. She continues to develop her practice through residencies, collaborations, and ongoing experimentation, creating pieces that evoke emotion and spark dialogue about the complexities of contemporary life and the timeless human experience.
