Spirit of Nature
Nature is my muse – an endless source of shapes, colors, and wondrous patterns. In the Spirit of Nature collection, subtle similarities come to life: the soft curves of seashells mirrored in butterfly wings, the iridescent hues of feathers echoed in the smallest insects.
Faces
Faces and butterflies have something in common: every one of them is unique. Every face has its own features, just like every butterfly has its own unique markings.
Bags
Carolien’s love for fashion fuses together with her passion for taxidermy in these artworks made with moulds of designer bags. The delicate beauty of butterflies versus the haute couture industry.
Graphic vs. Organic
The combined action of tout, graphic lines and shapes and the organic, detailed shapes of the butterflies. The gentle, delicate butterflies show the soothing effect of the beauty of nature on a harsh, straightened environment.
Porcelain vs Butterflies
Porcelain and butterflies appear to have little in common, but nothing could be further from the truth. Both are known for their symbolic meaning of luck, beauty and fragility. In terms of varieties and colours porcelain is as diverse as butterflies: it ranges from classic white to hand painted in bright colours.
Pure blue
Pure Blue is the colour of delft blue and the magical, striking butterflies. It symbolizes peace, loyalty and trust. Look closely and you will find the colour Pure Blue around us constantly.
