About the work of Cathalijn Wouters:
Cathalijn Wouters’ paintings balance between figuration and abstraction, where fluid linework and layered color fields merge into compositions that feel both intuitive and deliberate. Rooted in her background in graphic design, her work demonstrates a strong sense of spatial tension and compositional clarity.
Working from drawings and sketches, Wouters translates fleeting gestures, often of the human body, into paintings that hover between presence and disappearance. Her figures, reduced to essential lines, emerge from and dissolve into atmospheric surfaces, creating a poetic interplay between the visible and the intangible.
By combining painterly gestures with the immediacy of drawing, Wouters explores the emotional and psychological layers beneath form. Her works invite a quiet, contemplative viewing experience, where suggestion and ambiguity leave space for personal interpretation.
