Aeltsje Hylkema tells stories using cardboard as her chosen medium. She observes poses and gestures that fascinate her, whether on the street, in her surroundings, or even in random newspaper photos. This body language reveals not only stories but also provides insight into the emotions and relationships between people.
Her work can be seen as an exploration of the non-verbal communication that surrounds us. She captures the dynamics of human interactions and demonstrates the impact of movement. This subject offers a wealth of opportunities for experimentation and allows her to further explore the boundaries of traditional painting. She operates at the intersection of two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms. The combination of texture, shape, and observation makes her work unique and relevant in the contemporary art scene.
