Artist:
statement:
Sandra ter Horst is a contemporary visual artist. Her work explores the
tension between strength and vulnerability, with a focus on emotional presence
and self-awareness. Her paintings move beyond traditional portraiture and
focus on capturing an inner state of being.
'My work revolves around making inner experience visible. I do not paint portraits, but emotional states — moments in which strength and gentleness converge. Through colour, texture and composition, I invite recognition and introspection. The faces serve as vessels for emotion. My paintings are meeting places for silence, presence and authenticity.'
