Jescika van Overveld has been working as an artist for a long time; she started at a creative group in Diemen in about 1996. In the beginning, Jescika’s work was characterised by the endless repetition of small shapes such as beetles, birds and fish. Gradually, Jescika developed more and more. She has become a master at mixing colours and rendering texture. Very special, especially when you know that she can only see with one eye.



She still likes to paint birds and fish, often using an existing image, but she also still paints things ‘from memory’.



Her work is figurative and refers to visible reality. She has a great eye for colour and detail. Her favourite colours are blue, skin tone, a little purple and teal (sea colour). Also very special is how she deals with space and perspective; she does not use the linear perspective; but flips her images as it were; it is as if you are looking at the image from the front and from above at the same time. A wonderful experience. 



In 2013, Jescika participated in an international exchange project with studios from Amsterdam, Brighton and Cork.
