Hanneke van Ryswyk, Malachi Island

Hanneke van Ryswyk’s paintings explore the natural world: its vulnerability, its beauty, and the effects of extreme weather on both the land and the sea. Hanneke paints imagined lands and seas with an abstracted aesthetic and sensitivity, working in a series of layers that respond to the elements of the composition as they evolve. Her mysterious and alluring paintings are abstract explorations of the effect of weather and of climate change on the seas and the surface of the earth.

Hanneke van Ryswyk is a Welsh-Dutch visual artist living on the Wexford coast in Ireland since 2011.
