Carolien Wissing

Carolien Wissing was born in 1976 in Aalten, the Netherlands. She paints with a toned-down color palette and creates vast landscapes. She recreates small forgotten houses, valleys and captures the tranquility of nature. There is an interplay, between man and nature, creation and movement, control and chaos. It is instinctively a human need to feel connected to nature.

Carolien Wissing is a trained architect designer at the Art Academy Constantijn Huygens, Kampen, The Netherlands. After studying, she traveled regularly abroad, for extended periods. From North and South America to Asia and Africa, but also in Europe. She built houses in the Pyrenees and trained horses in Iceland. Many of her landscapes have their origins in one of these places, where the existence of culture fades and slowly transitions into the rules and architecture of nature.
