Annemare Rijnbeek

My work lives in the space where abstraction and figuration meet — and it is precisely in that meeting that something true emerges.

I always begin with a fully abstract piece: colour, texture, collage. I look for balance, tension, a sense of life within the surface. And once that feels right, I begin to look — waiting for figures to reveal themselves from within the abstraction. Not imposed, but discovered.

What I want to express is the dynamic of human relationships — the invisible bonds that connect us, across culture, language, and time. Mother and child. Sisters. Friends. Strangers who recognise something in one another.

I am always looking for surprises — for myself and for the viewer. Emotion. Space to reflect. Details that only appear when you move close. Every work asks something different of me, and gives something different back.
