Pietertje van Splunter is a visual artist who explores the power and meaning of colour in her paintings. Moving between abstraction and representation, her work brings together intuition, concept, and painterly expression. She uses colour not merely as a visual element, but also as a carrier of associations, memories and cultural meanings.
Colour samples, colour wheels and other established colour systems serve as the starting point for her vibrant, minimalist compositions. Materials also play a significant role in her practice. Reused fabrics, incorporated through collage, connect the personal with broader social themes.
Her paintings invite viewers to experience colour as something that resonates, shifts, and generates meaning. The paintings offer potential portals into other worlds of light, colour and life.
Pietertje van Splunter’s work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Venice Biennale in 2015, as well as in the United States, Canada and various European countries.
