About the Artwork:
“This painting celebrates the Chinese zodiac’s Year of the Rabbit, and it evokes themes of renewal and the kind and gentle nature of the rabbit. The concept of renewal is closely associated with the celebration of a new year. The start of a new year is often seen as a time to let go of the past and to embrace new beginnings. The flowers that surround the girl and the rabbit evoke the beauty of nature and the themes of renewal and rebirth.” – Sylvia Strijk

(Artist Bio)
My name is Sylvia Strijk and I’m a freelance artist, living in the Netherlands. I love being swept away to another world by myths and fantasy stories. Within my work I’m seeking to create an ethereal, magical world where you can experience a sense of mystery and wonder. I seek inspiration for my work in portraiture, flowers, mythology and songs.
I’ve studied fine art, illustration and media design. My work has been featured on book covers, posters, advertisements and exhibited in various galleries.
