Maaike Delsaerdt's work is embued with echoes from late twentieth century American cinema, the brisk sun of LA and it's graphic shadows.

​

Her eerie, abstract landscapes are the protagonists of her painterly narrative.

Fusing the energetic colours of LA with Middle Eastern symbolism and imprints of ancient cultures, her work is at once universally recognizable yet teeming with mystery. Her work speaks of freedom, of mind and eye, of technique, of new horizons for humanity, united as one.

​

Archetypes meet pop culture in a surreal world which is, like ours, stranger than paradise. A true believer in the liberating force of art, Delsaerdt layers different screens of color on top of each other, until the most essential, totemic imprints appear.

​

Her emblematic gestures carry us through time and whisper notes about the revolutions ahead.
