Barbara Rink (1978, lives and works in Amsterdam)
Barbara derives images from dreams and fuses them with imagery found in flower paintings, religious
art, nature photography and personal archives. She explores themes of the unconscious and primal human nature
with interest in ritual, adaptability versus individuality and symbolism.
“I like to see my works as bridging the realms of the mind, the spiritual and ‘the here and the now’; a momentary meeting
of two worlds, caught on the canvas.
By mocking organic growth processes and expressive use of colour I aim to evoke a sense of wonder and livelyness”
Depending on the situation this could come in the form of paintings, workshops, performance or community arts.
Her works have been exhibited in the Netherlands, Italy, Scotland, and England.
