Afke Van Mansum Profile Picture

Afke Van Mansum

Apulia, Portugal
Artist (Painting, Digital Arts)
Born 1971
Our life is our ultimate work of art

As an artist working across multiple mediums, including oil, watercolor, acrylics, and textiles, Afke's work is rooted in exploring the emotional aspects of diversity and exclusion, abandonment and inclusion, loneliness and connection.

Through her paintings, she seeks to capture the raw emotions that arise from these themes, inviting the viewer to contemplate their own experiences and feelings. Whether working with the fluidity of watercolors or the boldness of acrylics, Afke strives to create pieces that are both striking and thought-provoking.

In her textile work, she is particularly drawn to the tactile nature of the medium and the meditative state that arises from working with fabric. She uses fabric and thread to explore the ways in which she connects with others, and the world at large. By stitching together fragments of cloth, she creates a visual representation of the interconnectedness of all things.

Her work is deeply personal, yet it is also universal. It speaks to the human experience and the emotions that we all share. Through her art, she hopes to create a space for reflection and connection, where viewers can explore their own feelings of exclusion, loneliness, and abandonment, and find comfort and understanding in the shared experiences to gain feelings of inclusion and connection.
