New year, new website

Hi all,

This year, I’ve decided to take my art more seriously, starting by creating this website. Here, I want to share my artwork in a more professional way, talk about who I am, what inspires me, and why I feel compelled to create in the first place. A place to share my thoughts, experiments, blunders, and questions that shape my creative journey. Taking my art seriously also means allowing myself to be seen, even when that feels vulnerable. This has always been hard for me, so it will be a journey in itself.

Equally important to me is getting to know the people who follow my work, and receive feedback from you. How do my portraits make you feel? What draws you in? Do some of my portraits make you feel uncomfortable? - Already happened! Your perspective adds meaning to what I create and helps me grow as an artist. I hope we can start a conversation and create a friendly community.

Besides creating this website, I also hope to begin more collaborations and take on commissioned portrait work. In 2025 I had the opportunity to collaborate with outro disco podcast, with kunst kastjes and also do several meaningful commission portraits for friends. It was creatively challenging, super inspiring, and I am open for more! If you’re interested in collaborating , you can contact me here.

Thank you for being here and for taking the time to read this. I am aiming for weekly updates.

Have a great day! And go create, it’s good for your health!

Cheers,

Rita
