About Me

Hi, fellow art enthusiast. I’m Jolanda — a portrait painter, truth-seeker, and tender rebel based in Tilburg, the Netherlands. My studio may be rooted here, but my art has found its way to walls (and hearts) around the world.

I paint people in their element — creators, performers, dreamers — in those raw, electric moments where they’re fully alive. Not perfect. Just present. Just them. Whether it’s Lin-Manuel Miranda caught mid-miracle or Bruce Springsteen mid-song, I’m drawn to people who show up for what they love, without apology. Each portrait I make is more than paint — it’s a tribute to that rare, defiant beauty:

Being fully, unapologetically yourself.

My work is rooted in the belief that we’re not here to shrink, fit in, or perform.We’re here to become. To remember who we were before we forgot.

So whether you’re browsing, looking for a piece that speaks to you, or dreaming of a commission that reflects your own story — welcome. You’ll find a collection of moments, moods, and memories here.Made with care. Made with soul. Made with the quiet belief that art can help us come home to ourselves.

Thanks for stopping by.
If something speaks to you — reach out. I’d love to hear your story, too.
