Florentijn de Boer (1993, Voorburg) creates paintings and ceramic works in which intuition, imagination and everyday life merge into poetic, dreamlike worlds. Working from her studio in The Hague, she has developed a visual language that feels both powerful and fragile: organic forms, layered colours and fluid compositions move between figuration and abstraction.
In her work, De Boer transforms personal experiences, memories and observations from nature into monumental paintings filled with rhythm and emotion. Figures, flowers, animals and landscapes appear to shift and dissolve continuously, as if they emerge in the very moment they disappear. Her paintings possess a strong physical presence; oil pastel and colour are applied almost sculpturally, allowing the surface to vibrate with movement and energy.
Themes such as motherhood, connection, dependency and the relationship between body and environment form an underlying thread throughout her practice. Yet the works remain intentionally open-ended. Rather than presenting fixed narratives, De Boer creates spaces in which viewers can project their own memories, emotions and associations.
Her oeuvre exists between the intimate and the mythical — balancing daily observations with an imaginative inner world. Within this tension, De Boer constructs a universe that feels at once comforting and uncanny, where colour functions emotionally, almost musically.
