About the Artwork:
“This piece is inspired by the balance that people try to maintain between establishing their livelihoods and trying to find that place of comfort and inner peace within the (sometimes) chaotic reality of everyday life. When I find myself facing this challenge I like to remind myself that life is nothing but a playground, and that there are lessons to be learned when we let go of control and enjoy the ride.” – Dewi Plass
About the Artist:
Dewi Plass is a Dutch artist born in 1990, with a fascination for nature, Disney movies and a love for all kinds of creative outlets, drawing in particular. Yet, she was very certain that she did not want to go to art school, and so she pursued an academic career in Cultural and Visual Anthropology from which she graduated in 2014. Although Dewi found great joy in putting her academic skills into practice, there was that one other passion that had been left unexplored for quite a while: translating the intangible images and stories that she had in her mind into visible, tangible sensations that could be shared with others. This is why, in 2015, she decided to focus on her development as a full time visual artist. Since then her artwork has been shown in galleries across the world, both at home and abroad. Using acrylic as her medium, Dewi creates artworks in which animals take the center stage within worlds that invite the viewer to let go of all that’s familiar and instead explore the unexpected.
