I am Dorothea, 31 years old and raised in Lichtervelde. From an early age, I had a fascination with drawing and collecting. With a pencil in my hand and a stack of paper around me, I spent hours. My collections kept growing, much to the annoyance of my parents, but what for me was a source of inspiration and stories. At 18, I moved to Antwerp, a city that has since become my home. Here I studied at the Academy of Fine Arts and obtained my master's degree in Free Graphics. The last two years I have been actively working to grow my passion and make my dream a reality. On my canvases I tell what words cannot express. Art for me is a way to understand the world around me and learn to let go.
