How to commission a bespoke painting that reflects your style

By |2025-06-18T16:07:47+02:00June 18th, 2025|Art|

How to commission a bespoke painting that reflects your style Commissioning a painting should be an experience, not a transaction. As a experienced Dutch contemporary artist, I design every piece to fit you: your story, your walls, your lifestyle. First, we start with a conversation. I ask: What mood does your room hold? What feelings do you wish to evoke? That’s how custom size painting begins, not with dimensions, but with intention. If your living space features a high ceiling, a large scale original painting may be the perfect focal point. I travel internationally (on request, with additional fees) [...]

Why Feminine Art belongs in the modern home

By |2025-06-18T16:12:20+02:00June 18th, 2025|Art, Artist Life|

I believe that feminine energy in art isn’t just decoration, it transforms a space. From the moment I began painting muses, I was drawn to how softness and strength can coexist on canvas, and in your living room. Original artwork with emotional meaning speaks to the heart of a modern home. It does more than fill a wall, it invites reflection, warmth, and subtle power. Many clients tell me their bespoke painting now feels like a trusted friend, quietly present through daily life. When you commission a custom statement art piece, you're bringing a narrative into your space. A [...]

A spiritual being with paint: How Wayne Dyer shaped my Path as an artist

By |2025-06-24T13:10:51+02:00June 18th, 2025|Art, Artist Life|

I’ve never met Wayne Dyer, but I consider him one of my greatest teachers. His books found me when I needed them most, not during a period of artistic inspiration, but in the quiet, uncertain in-between moments. The ones where doubt creeps in. Where fatigue is louder than vision. Where the question “why am I doing all this?” echoes longer than the brushstroke lasts. And then, there it was. That one sentence that stayed with me like a mantra: “You are not a human being having a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being having a human experience.” That changed [...]

Discover my latest works: A closer look at Les Découpés

By |2025-06-24T13:10:40+02:00June 17th, 2025|Art, Artist Life|

There’s something liberating about cutting things up. In recent months, I’ve found myself returning to a more physical, tactile way of creating, surrounded by scissors, fragments, and silence. Les Découpés, my new collage series, was born from this instinct: the desire to deconstruct and reassemble what I once painted, not out of destruction, but out of reverence. Each work in the collection is hand-assembled from elements of my previous paintings, lips, eyes, gold details, earrings, all once belonging to muses I spent years painting. Now, these fragments are rearranged into new compositions. The muse is gone, but her presence lingers. [...]

How my art became a status symbol – Without trying to be one

By |2025-06-24T13:10:58+02:00June 16th, 2025|Art, Artist Life|

I never set out to create status symbols. I set out to create beauty. To capture the essence of femininity, strength, elegance, and to do it with consistency and conviction. And yet, over the years, I started hearing the same stories. A collector would tell me how visitors walked into their home and stopped mid-sentence when they saw the painting: “Wait - is that a Wendy Buiter?” Others would proudly post photos online, or send me messages about how people were drawn to the artwork, how it sparked conversation, admiration, even envy. There’s a kind of pride in owning [...]

The value of emotion: My most expensive artworks and why they matter

By |2025-06-24T13:11:08+02:00June 15th, 2025|Art, Artist Life|

The Hidden Value Behind Contemporary Art What makes a work of art expensive? Is it the technique, the size, the name of the artist, or is it something far more elusive? In my experience as a contemporary artist, the value of a painting lies in the emotional connection it creates and the lasting impact it has on those who live with it. Throughout the years, I’ve created many works that collectors deeply connected with. Some became iconic. Others evolved in value as they became more visible in public collections, private interiors, and digital platforms. Below I share six of [...]

More than art; building a world!

By |2025-06-09T15:27:53+02:00June 9th, 2025|Art, Artist Life|

When people ask me what I do, I never quite know how to give a short answer. I paint, yes. I design jewelry, yes. I create accessories, silk scarves, and lifestyle pieces. But none of those things, not even my most detailed portraits or handmade jewelry, fully capture what I’m really building. Because what I create is more than art. I’m building a whole curated world! A world where beauty is layered with meaning. Where elegance and rebellion hold hands. Where luxury isn’t loud, but speaks fluently in symbols, silhouettes, and stories. From canvas to crown stud Every piece [...]

Why fashion jewelry deserves a place in history

By |2025-06-01T18:33:16+02:00June 1st, 2025|Art, Artist Life|

Why do we need to rethink the value of fashion jewelry? There is a quiet hierarchy in the world of adornment, one that has long placed fine jewelry on a pedestal, shimmering with the prestige of precious metals and stones. But somewhere beneath that velvet rope lies another universe: one built not of carats, but of creativity. This is the world of fashion jewelry. There’s a common misconception that jewelry is only valuable if it’s made of gold, platinum, or diamonds. But some of the most iconic pieces in fashion history were never meant to be locked in safes; [...]

Behind the design: the story behind my first jewelry collection!

By |2025-05-21T18:28:31+02:00May 21st, 2025|Artist Life|

Creating art you can wear — that was my vision. When I began designing my first jewelry collection, I knew it had to reflect everything I value as an artist: strength, elegance, and timelessness. The result? Seven distinct pieces — five earrings and two bracelets — that carry not only aesthetic beauty, but also a piece of my personal history. At the heart of this collection lies my logo — a symbol I hold dear. At first glance, it resembles a crown. But look closer and you’ll see it’s a letter W and B, forming a regal silhouette. It [...]
