Info Paintings and
Photocollages:
Sandra Maarhuis was born in
1972, in Rotterdam. In 2001
she graduated from the Art
Academy of Kampen. It was
there that she mastered her
painting skills. After
graduating, the Dutch Art
Institute offered her a place
in their Master of Fine Arts
course. During this two year
course she was taught by Peter
Struyken and Emo Verkerk, and
she obtained her Master's
Degree in 2003.
Apart from commissioned works
and the sale of her work, her
main ambition is to further
develop her free artwork. A
recurring theme in her visual
art is the beauty that is
concealed in everyday life. In
awe of detail, situation or
people.
And this admiration is the
start of each of her
paintings.
By painting in a
figurative-bordering on
realistic-way, she is able to
portray the subject as
recognizable as possible. The
final goal is to let the
painting exceed the picture.
To be captivated first before
realising it’s a "picture in a
frame".
Sandra has a new working space
