About Antoinette Cremers

“I am guided by the fact that I am mortal”

Art does not always have to explain something.

Sometimes an image is enough to make you fall silent.
To recognise what you yourself have not yet been able to put into words.

Welcome to my world.

Antoinette’s (1964) life is one big experiment. As an artist, she is constantly on the lookout for new materials, forms and disciplines. She looks at everything from multiple angles and wants to keep learning endlessly. She studied facilities management, naturopathy and traditional Chinese medicine. And before Antoinette threw herself into her artistic career, she ran her own practice in Roosendaal for many years.

Mortality
During her work as a therapist, she was constantly confronted with the vulnerability and, at the same time, the strength of the body and the mind, with new life and death. To this day, these themes remain hidden in the deeper layers of her work as an artist, and they form the connecting thread running through her multifaceted body of work: “As an artist, I am guided by the fact that I am mortal. For there are only two certainties in life: we are born and we die; the time in between is what we call life.”
