ARTIST
“Myrna van der Veen (1977) is a versatile artist since 2001, known for her unique approach to art. She starts with photography, meticulously exploring texture, composition, colour, and balance. Her creative process involves an almost alchemical painting journey deeply rooted in what she has seen through her camera, resulting in 'Mindscapes' that symbolize life.
Born in Indonesia and raised in the Netherlands, she calls Nairobi her home. Her education in various artistic disciplines is reflected in her work, where she captures the nuances of life and invites viewers to explore the world through her lens and brush. Her art testifies to her ability to transform captured moments into enduring, thought-provoking pieces that resonate with viewers worldwide.”
