Nora Heikamp
Born in Germany and now living in the Netherlands, Nora has painted all her life, but as a perfectionist has had her struggles with her art, which lead to an almost decade long break.
Her artworks are a mirror of her inner world, sometimes vibrant and lively, sometimes calm and dreamy, meant to evoke a sense of movement, emotion and distant memories. It’s all about letting go and taking chances, using intense colours, expressive lines, marks, drops and splashes. They way she paints is fast and intuitive, following a flow, without rules or overthinking. This process lets her break free from doubts and fears, accepting that not everything can, or should, be controlled. She uses ink as her main medium, due to its versatility: surprising and unpredictable, soft or strong.
