“inspiring moments of self reflection”
Denise Buisman Pilger
Artist | Expat | Traveler
1️⃣ I was born in Amsterdam
2️⃣ I have lived in Fort Worth, TX, USA, Montréal, Canada and Nagoya, Japan
3️⃣ I relax by riding horses and playing board games
4️⃣ I obsessively take photographs everywhere I go
5️⃣ Creating Art demands every ounce of courage I possess
Leaving the Netherlands was a breeze. Japan didn’t scare me, America didn’t intimidate and Canada is as easy-going as it gets. The thing that frightens me, is creating Art.
For the longest time, I believed I was the master of my craft. I strode into my studio with confidence to create bodies of work like Traveling the World and World on Washi. In my bubble, I reigned supreme.
Then, one day I realized that the spaces I thought I controlled were fortified by the perceived expectations of the people around me. Their silent influence spawned countless rules, suffocating the artist within.
It dawned on me—I shouldn't be making the rules at all.
I have been creating Art for a decade and a half, and right now my studio in Canada is the most terrifying and exhilarating place to be. Inside, the Art decides the destination, where it leads I will follow.
An old man once told me: “It’s dangerous to go alone!” So, will you join me on this quest? Together we will explore ‘Unveiling’ a boundless realm of vibrant hues and delicate textures.
Step into my world, explore my art and meet the versions of myself I once knew.
Let's embark on an adventure of discovery.
