Josephine Schiphorst

Schiphorst developed her artistic vision through intensive mentorships under renowned Dutch masters, starting at the "Vrije Akademie" in Heerlen, later at the The Hague Academy "Koorenhuis" under Eric Dordregter and for more than 15 years with the The Hague based abstract paintress Rineke Kop.
Her work is deeptly rooted in the tradition of informal art and abstract expressionism, characterized by a powerful tactile presence and a sophisticated harmony of color. Over the years, Schiphorst has built a distinct and recognizable style that captures emotional depth through structure, attracting private collectors both nationally and internationally.
"My artwork is an ongoing exploration of texture, rhythm, and time. I am fascinated by the interplay between control and coincidence, which I express through a layered mixed-media technique using acrylics, plaster, wrapping paper, and jute on linen canvasses. By building up and peeling away layers, I create weathered, organic surfaces."
