Artist Statement:
My work is about human
contacts or in fact the
absence of those. Because of
the many sources of
information, such as
television and the Internet ,

in which individuals get
isolated and in which
individuals live within their
own schemes in different
spaces. Living with and near
each other in an (urban)
landscape is changing rapidly
under the influence of these
media. More and more
information can reach us
through the Internet and
television, but it leads to
distance and fewer physical
contacts between people. My
experience in television work
has resulted in a fascination
with the question of how
people relate to each other
under the influence of
television. Moreover, I wonder

| Your Personal Biography |
Abcouwer, visual artist, started her career as a make-up artist in the theatre. Later she set up her own company in this field carrying out private orders and cooperating in commercials and films for the cinema and television. Besides, she worked with renowned photographers, among whom Paul Huf.
During her years as a make-up artist for television, Abcouwer worked with international celebrities, such as Julio Iglesias, Cliff Richard, Joe Cocker, Roger Moore, Patrick Bruel and Charles Aznavour and many famous Dutch people, like Mies Bouwman, Ivo Niehe, Barend en van Dorp and Nelleke van der Krogt. Interestingly, she contributed to some television adaptations of Italian operas.
In 2006 Abcouwer decided to stop working as a make-up artist and dedicated herself entirely to becoming a visual artist. In June 2009 she graduated from the Utrecht School of Arts ('Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht'), the Netherlands, as a Bachelor of Fine Art (With Honour).
