Claire Witteveen (NL) works in oil on canvas and paper, creating abstract compositions that unfold between control and release, intellect and instinct. Her practice is rooted in discipline yet driven by a search for what cannot be spoken, only painted.
Each work is a reckoning: intimate, immediate, and deeply personal. Witteveen’s canvases capture the in-between: the tension between thought and feeling, dream and wakefulness, vulnerability and force.
Her paintings are not illustrations but encounters; fragments that confront, envelop, and reveal. Together they form a visual language that is both fierce and fragile, always unflinchingly honest.
