Walking On A Dream #6
By Karen van der Vliet
22 x 18 cm, 2023
Mixed acrylic paint on cotton, framed
Karen van de Vliet is a visual artist known for her abstract, colourful paintings. With music being the bridge to her personal and meditative and creative state, Karen creates wondrous paintings that convey the magic of everyday life.
Karen van de Vliet developed an approach to her work that focusses on the beauty of imperfection. She is intrigued by seemingly ordinary shapes that were not created intentionally, such as weathered and eroded surfaces caused by nature, or casual traces of use. Mesmerised by the shapes in the thick paint of pedestrian walkways, chewing gum on the street or cracks in damaged building blocks, Karen translates these structures and reliefs onto the canvas. Her great love for nature, its trascience and the beauty of everyday life, become visible through abstract, colourful and expressive paintings.

In Translucent XVI, Karen van de Vliet builds a layered composition in which colour appears to surface from within the work. Luminous red, blue and pink accents are partially veiled by pale translucent areas, while strong black and white lines bring rhythm and contrast. The irregular contours extend beyond the wooden frame, emphasising the work’s sculptural character. Intimate in scale yet visually assertive, this unique artwork occupies the space between abstract painting and wall sculpture.
