Artist YVONNE KOK

Yvonne Kok is a Dutch artist based in Haarlem. In her work, she explores themes such as love, freedom, and self-acceptance. Recurring elements include female figures and birds, symbolizing vulnerability, strength, and inner freedom.

A defining turning point in her life was overcoming her alcohol addiction in 2013. This transformation introduced her to meditation, yoga, and the power of thoughts. These influences are deeply intertwined in her work, where affirmations and layered texts often appear as visual and emotional anchor points.

Kok works with layered techniques in acrylic paint, ink, oil paint, and mixed media on canvas. Her paintings are created intuitively and process-based, layer by layer. In addition to her artistry, she is co-owner of Paulies Ginger, an alcohol-free ginger drink brand that originated from her alcohol-free lifestyle.

Her work can be seen at various exhibitions throughout Europe and is held in both private and international collections.
