Poetry collection ‘Een bundeltje troost’

My dear friend Britt wrote a beautiful poetry collection about grief, comfort, and transformation, and I had the honor of illustrating the cover for her. She lost her beloved dog Maddie last year, and of course, Maddie holds a special place of honor in the illustration. You can visit her website to find the collection.

32 new originals!

Today I’ve added 32 new originals to my webshop! The 23 pieces that returned from my Soul cloth exhibition in Beijing are now available, and 9 new works have been added as well.

Plint poetry

My very first illustration commission, back when I started Liekeland in 2011 was for Plint, an initiative that brings poetry and art together. Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of creating several illustrations for them to accompany beautiful poems, most recently for the poem “Advies” by Benny Lindelauf.

New prints!

After publishing my Soul cloth project, I’ve added 10 new prints to my collection! You can find them in my webshop.

Soul cloths

Carpets, in this show Soul cloths called, are more than decorative objects. The textiles mark the boundary between the ordinary world and moments of connection. Weaving, often done by women, embeds stories, memories, and emotions into the cloth. The patterns reflect life’s interconnectedness among humans, animals, and nature. Each thread is like a line drawn by a pen, created through meditative, repetitive handwork. Speaking not with words, but from heart to heart.

Next week, ten illustrations from this exhibition will be added to my collection of prints.

Find all the pictures of the exhibition and all illustrations in my portfolio page.

Soul Cloths – solo exhibition Beijing – 13-09 till 19-10

Carpets, in this show Soul Cloths called, are more than decorative objects, the textiles mark the boundary between the ordinary world and moments of deep connection with the universe. Weaving, often done by woman, embeds memories and emotions into each thread. The patterns reflect spiritual paths and life’s interconnectedness from humans, animals and nature. Each thread is like a line drawn by a pen. Through meditative, repetitive handwork, creating patterns and illustrations from the heart, one speaks from heart to heart.
