Lydia Duijmelinck

​”Lydia Duijmelinck intends to make the intuitive and spiritual world – that are naturally present for her – visible to the spectator. Labour-intensive  ceramics  as  well  as graphic  art  bring  her  in  a meditative  state,  leading  to  an
​oriental  aesthetic that has been influenced by traditional oriental art and oriental philosophy.

The  two  different  media  are sources  for  each  other  and therefore  inseparable.  The blue and  turquoise colours often present  in  her  graphic  work  as well as the coral looking ceramics are  a  reference  to  the underwater  worlds,  where  one  experiences the  world  completely  different.

Underwater  there  is  a  kind  of peace  that  cannot  be  found above  the  surface. In her work she invites the  spectators
to experience these peaceful worlds of calmness and contemplation.”
