BIO
Petrouschka A.M. Zandvliet (b. 1967) was born in Meppel,
The Netherlands.
She studied painting, photography and graphic design at the Gerrit Rietveld
Academy for Art and Design in Amsterdam. She has lived and worked in
Amsterdam, San Francisco and currently lives in Tampa. Her work has been
described
as musical, warm and intense. Her abstract use of colors and shapes creates
rhythm
and depth, worlds of visual sound.

STATEMENT
Almost as much as I love making my art, I enjoy people
describing
to me what they see in it, what story it tells to them and what life it
starts to lead after it leaves my studio. After I painted my painting,
my job is done: the traveling starts and the stories come loose.
