Jescika van Overveld

Jescika van Overveld has been working as an artist for a long time, she started in about 1996 at a creative group in Diemen. In the beginning, Jescika's work was characterized by the endless repetition of small shapes such as beetles, birds and fish. Gradually, Jescika started to develop more and more. She has become a master at mixing colors 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 paints things 'from memory'. Her work is figurative and refers to visible reality. She has a great eye for color and detail. Her favorite colors are blue, skin color, a little purple and teal (sea color). How she deals with space and perspective is also very special; She does not use the linear perspective; but flips her images, as it were; it's like looking at the image from the front and from above at the same time. A wonderful experience. In 2013, Jescika took part in an international exchange project with studios from Amsterdam, Brighton and Cork.
