Dion Rosina's (1991, Netherlands) work can be characterized as a combination of abstract and figurative, with a touch of mystery. He uses sampling, a technique in which he reuses existing imagery in search of special stories, mysteries, and important people and moments in history. He collects a diversity of images that he digitally manipulates and assembles into collages, which serve as the basis for his paintings.
After completing his studies at the Breitner Academy in 2021 (2016-2021), Rosina made a flying start. He exhibited his works at the Rembrandt House as part of the exhibition 'Here. Black in the Time of Rembrandt,' and his work was also displayed at Documenta 15 by the Black Archives. In 2023, he participated in the exhibition 'More and More' at Museum More in Gorssel and had his first solo exhibitions at Kunsthal in Rotterdam. In 2024, he created an image of the Curaçaoan resistance fighter Tula, commissioned by the Centraal Museum Utrecht. His work can be found in various private and corporate collections, such as VuMC (Amsterdam) and the AkzoNobel Art Foundation. Rosina's work will be on view in a exhibition at Buro Stedelijk at the Stedelijk Museum this August.
