Art Josie Dutch, b. 1962

Art Josie (Eindhoven, 1962) is committed to raising awareness about the importance of sustainability. She believes that art has the power to inspire people and encourage change. Her choice to create artworks using natural materials is in line with the idea of sustainability and respect for our planet.

The artworks offer room for interpretation and give the viewer space to think about how they can contribute to a more sustainable future. After all, sustainability is not only the responsibility of individuals, but also requires a collective effort.

From an early age, the artist has admired nature and the earth, but the influence of her many years living in China and South-East Asia, where she saw with her own eyes the enormous damage caused by humans, has made her concerned.

In the Earth series, she creates artworks on linen canvas with a lot of texture, made from glass, sand, (natural) stones and paper. These materials represent the elements of the earth and are intended to give the viewer the feeling of what one experiences in nature.
