With her art Etty creates playful new worlds for you to dissolve inside.
She follows intuitive lines and shapes that lead beyond the mind into the subconscious looking for connection. With humor she juxtaposes urban human behaviour with natural and spiritual dimensions.

Etty started her career with a theatrical and carnivalesque art-van ‘Graaiculuur’. With this van she portrayed greedy consumerism in a absurdistic and interactive installation fostering creative and sustainable behavior.

This van was a cocoon for her creative ideas and from 2013 till now she creates colorful creative concepts for festivals and events. 

From 2016 she took her ideas on a hike around the world. She started experimenting with paint and sketching shapes inspired by the existential questions that came up wandering through real spiritual landscapes and cultures. (opposite the Dutch flatlands) Connecting with nature and spiritual practices became a big inspiration and helped her intuitively creating an imagery that tell subconscious stories. 
Being back in urban surroundings since 2018, worlds collide and her work transformed into a chaotic dance of nature vs city and peace vs extacy asking questions like how to find peace within when constantly being externally stimulated, and how to find connection in an individualistic driven society all whilst being disconnected from the planet we exploit. 

In the last years Etty started transforming her work into large canvasses and murals and recently she created decors and installations using 3D and woodwork to walk through the different layers of her artworks.
