EVELINE VAN DE GRIEND



Born in The Netherlands and graduated from the Royal Art Academy, Eveline van de Griend now lives in Berlin. She did grants in South Africa, France, Italy, Berlin and in 2011 she was an artist in Residence at Kunstlerhaus Bethanien Berlin with Kimberly Clark. 

Eveline van de Griend's aim is to deceive reality by joining contradictions.
Eveline study the possibility/impossibility of identification between one person and another. Her creations display a symbiosis of African /Afro- American and her own Dutch cultural heritage, symbolism and the mundane reality of today’s world, often inspired by people or events. As Van de Griend was born in The Netherlands and raised partly in Africa, Russia and England, she lived with the concept of contrast, cultural differences, and the confrontation between the sexes. As a result, Thus the problem of living together in diversity features heavily in Van de Griend's work.
