About Mieneke Kraaijeveld
My name is Mieneke Kraaijeveld. From my studio just south of Arnhem, I create vibrant, multi-layered illustrations with deep, vivid colours and fine details. My greatest source of inspiration is nature and the animal kingdom. From the cat and rabbit in my studio to the insects I spot and sketch outdoors, and even the fascinating creatures of the deep sea; everything sparks my imagination. When I’m not drawing, you’ll often find me outdoors, experimenting in the kitchen, or at the sewing machine making my own clothes.
My working method is a unique blend of analogue craftsmanship and digital techniques. Each piece begins with sketches to capture the right atmosphere and colours. Once the composition feels balanced, the real craftsmanship begins: I draw out all the individual elements using watercolour, ink, pencil and chalk. I also add loose brushstrokes and splashes of paint to create unique textures. I scan all these elements in high resolution, after which I build up the illustration digitally in Photoshop or Illustrator as a layered collage. By combining my hand-drawn shapes with these rich textures, I create a work of art with a beautiful depth that you’ll never tire of looking at!
Bring colour and a touch of curiosity into your home, and discover a new detail on your wall time and time again!
