My name is Yvonne Kok, an artist from Haarlem. I paint in a pop-street art style. Freedom, vulnerability and inner strength are central themes. This stems primarily from my personal journey. I mainly paint women and birds — symbols of daring to show your true self and being as free as a bird. My work is created intuitively, layer by layer, using materials such as acrylic paint, spray paint and ink.
As well as being an artist, I am co-owner of Paulies Ginger, a ginger drink company, but it is in my studio that I find complete creative freedom. My art is closely linked to personal transformation, growth and breaking free from patterns. I regularly exhibit both at home and abroad and am always happy to welcome visitors to my studio at Broedplaats BOGOTÁ in Halfweg.
