Willemijn van Weeghel

Willemijn van Weeghel is an Amsterdam based Artist from the Netherlands. She has always shown an interest in the arts and creatively expressed herself from an early age.

For ten years she had neglected her artistic side, but in 2020 she decided to pursue her ambition of becoming a professional freelance artist. Creating art is a therapeutic outlet for her to process her narcolepsy* related emotions and chronic insomnia. Some key elements that her work often depicts are somber emotions, sleepy/heavy eyes and faces. She draws inspiration from emotions, faces, the human form and Picasso. Her style is generally minimalist, raw, figurative, expressive and shows elements of abstraction.
