Artistic life

Hilma Bovenkerk is a dedicated freelance artist creating unique portraits in diverse and oftentimes mixed materials like graffiti, acrylic paint and bees wax. Her latest work is a portrait of one of her favorite reggae singers, not painted, but shaved out of a goat skin, soon to be exhibited!

Hilma doesn't just paint on any canvas, but she explores different bearing mediums to also convey the thought of the work even stronger. Another way of getting deeper under the skin of the person portrayed.

After her study at the Art Academy of Rotterdam, The Netherlands, she got her qualification as an Art Teacher at the Fontys Academy of the Arts in Tilburg.

A renowned creative workshop coach in Holland, she combines teaching painting in her studio with commissions for murals and paintings. Hilma is the owner of Artschool Helmond and ArtConnect.co through which she offers artistic solutions for businesses and institutions.

About Hilma Bovenkerk

As an artist I am driven by a fascination with the nuances in facial expression, capturing those moments that give us a glimpse of one's inner world. Influenced by both contemporary and historical movements, my work reflects a dialogue between abstraction and realism, allowing for a multifaceted understanding of the human condition.

The materials I use serve to emphasize the emotional weight of each piece, stripping away distractions to focus on the essence of the subject. What follows is a mix of not only of the choice of the media, but a voluntary quest into new and undiscovered use of it in combination.
