arts

Barbara Guldernaar (1971) is a visual artist in multiple disciplines, including ceramics, drawing and painting. Barbara graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in 1997, specializing in autonomous sculpture.

The drawings and watercolors Barbara now makes are narrative, but can also stand alone. Her works with watercolor and black ink clearly show her Asian roots.

Works are available through the fine art gallery Posthuys on Texel and Artzaanstad exhibition and art center in Zaandam.

Reproductions of my work are available in different sizes and materials through Art in the Box and Loods 5.
