Charlotte Dijkgraaf

As a mixed-media artist working across painting, sculpture, photography, fashion, and design, I’m drawn to open-ended processes, and what lies beneath the surface.

I explore how my paintings can act as a mirror or a tool. Something that turns us inward and makes us aware of our own projections. I build these works from fragments, gluing them together as a way of understanding how we come to see and make sense of things.

I keep returning to the feeling of thinking you know something, only to find there is always more beneath the surface. In everyday life, complex ties form between us. Ones we have to break down in order to understand, and that might otherwise remain beyond reach.
