Roxy van Bemmel (1993) is a visual artist from Utrecht, the Netherlands. She creates painting that are all about expanding and daring to take up space. Her background as a fashion illustrator (ArtEZ Fashion Design ‘17) helps create characters that are larger than life, often based on selfportraits..
“I find it hard to process my emotions until they find a way into my paintings. Spending time with my selfportraits creates the distance I need to understand myself. When I was younger I often felt invisible and that’s why I now create paintings so large that even I cannot ignore them. I never want to feel small again.”

The best way to stay in touch without algorithms.
Once a month I’ll email you about my art process, news and early access to original paintings and prints. It's not a sales email, but more like a diary.
Additionally if you're interested in learning (online and offline) with me, consider subscribing to my Work in Progress letter. It's a semi-monthly letter in which I share short art tips, online art lessons and workshop dates.
