Pietertje van Splunter graduated in 1990 at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague. She has a background as painter but leaves no medium unexploited. In colorfull paintings, videos and spatial
intallations she consistently shows a perception of the world around her which is both poetic and critical. No matter whether she busies herself with the art world, urban space or our personal surroundings.
