Artist YVONNE KOK
Yvonne Kok is a Dutch artist based in Haarlem. In her work, she explores themes of love, freedom, and self-acceptance. Recurring elements include female figures and birds, symbolizing vulnerability, strength, and inner freedom.
A defining turning point in Kok’s life was overcoming alcohol addiction in 2013. This transformation led her to meditation, yoga, and the power of thought. These influences are deeply embedded in her work, where affirmations and layered text often emerge as visual and emotional anchors.
Kok works with layered techniques using acrylic, ink, and oil and mixed media on canvas, building her paintings through an intuitive and process-driven approach. Alongside her artistic practice, she is the co-owner of Paulies Ginger, an alcohol-free ginger drink brand rooted in conscious living. Her work has been exhibited in various shows and is held in both private and international collections.
