Lotte Teussink is a 41-year-old painter living and working with her partner and twin daughters in The Netherlands. Her paintings are made in the themes of spirituality, human psychology and consciousness, in a surrealistic style. She has been working for many years as a professional artist. Having exhibited in The Netherlands, Finland, Belgium, France, Germany and participated regularly in art fairs in Germany and The Netherlands, she is a well established artist in the field of (pop) surrealism & folk and gothic art. Lotte is selling her works worldwide on her official website and other platforms. During the spring and summer season you may often find her displaying her artworks on Sundays on the art market in Amsterdam. Statement written by renowned US art critic Alan Bamberger: 'Lotte Teussink is a Dutch artist who has developed a distinctive aesthetic, combining childlike fantasy with deeper psychological implications, often accented with subtle gothic overtones. Her artworks engage in uncommon yet effective and dreamlike ways, revealing mysterious facets of human personality that are normally hidden from day-to-day view. She further accentuates her subjects by painting them into either enigmatic dark backgrounds or imaginative settings coloured in purposely unnatural ways. In so doing, Lotte creates a balance that is harmonious, fragile, and revealing in accessible ways. Taking an instinctive approach to the creative process, her art is sourced from subconscious introspections on various phases and aspects of life, ultimately to be revealed through her art.'
