Barbara Guldenaar draws, paints (mainly watercolors) and gives workshops. In addition, she makes collages, installations and takes photos. Barbara lives in a studio house in the center of Krommenie, where she has the space to create, to exhibit and to give workshops.
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 installations Barbara graduated with were a combination of many different materials, including ceramics and wool, and drawings with conté and watercolor. She always sought contrast in the materials.
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.
You are welcome to visit the home studio (studio zap) in Krommenie where we exhibit, store, sell and lend out (framed) works of art and ceramic objects.
Barbara Guldenaar has been teaching at CREA, the Cultural Student Center of the University of Amsterdam, since 2015. Find out what you can create with pencil, paintbrush or your own bare hands by letting your imagination run wild at one of the fine arts courses at Crea in Amsterdam.
Barbara gives workshops drawing and painting in her home studio in Krommenie on Mondays.
Recently added are workshops at De Zondagsschilders in Amsterdam and In de Hoge Hoed in Zaanstad (starting Sping 2025).
