Loes van Roozendaal
I feel very much at home in the art world, but I am also still discovering who exactly I am as an artist.
Loes van Roozendaal’s (1996, Netherlands) artistic practice centers on home objects, repeatedly painting the same subjects at different times of day to capture the passage of time through changes in light and space. Van Roozendaal’s work explores the interplay between abstraction and figuration, using thick layers of oil paint applied and manipulated with a palette knife to create textured, white-on-white surfaces. These subtle variations in color and texture reveal shifting daylight and time hidden beneath the surface, inviting prolonged contemplation. Her paintings fragment moments, isolating fleeting light and memory within the canvas. In a world saturated with vivid imagery, her tranquil monochrome pieces offer a pause, encouraging viewers to engage deeply with the changing perception of light, texture, and time. Through meticulous technique and thoughtful composition, Van Roozendaal captures the quiet motion and stillness inherent in everyday environment.
