Rose mirror and mixed concrete
This work by Quinda Verheul results from her experiences in Kyrgyzstan where she rode the Tian Shan mountains for 1900 kilometers. Tian Shan is a large system of mountains in Central Asia that can be translated to Celestial Mountains. Being in the midst of the landscape, experiencing the mountains, the different weather conditions, the site at night and seeing celestial bodies shine, enhances her fascination for the landscape. Immersing herself in the natural environment is essential to her being and inextricably reflected in her practice.

Glass and concrete
Flood I (2022) is a monumental wall work by Quinda Verheul, made from layered glass and concrete. The piece explores natural topographies through industrial materials, resulting in a striking interplay between smooth reflection and rough texture. Its bold, horizontal composition evokes the shifting edge of land and water, frozen mid-motion.
Quinda Verheul often draws inspiration from the transformation of landscapes, both natural and human-made. With Flood I, she reinterprets these forces using materials that echo geological processes: erosion, layering, sedimentation. The result is sculptural, architectural, and quietly dramatic.

Gold coloured mirror and concrete
Quinda Verheul immerses herself in the constantly changing landscapes and the influence that humans have on them. She is fascinated by natural forces like wind, water and sunlight, and often addresses grand topics like the exploitation of natural resources which alter the landscape. Yet, there are different aspects to the same topic which Quinda explores in different series. This is reflected in her use of raw, earthy materials such as sand and natural stone. Mirrors form a returning metaphorical element in her sculptures and installations which invite spectators to reflect on themselves while simultaneously exploring different perspectives. The results are unique aesthetic translations which are able to present new confrontational information within a certain comfort.

Gold coloured mirror and concrete
Never Lost I is part of Quinda Verheul’s newest sculptural series, exploring the fragility and interconnectedness of nature. This monumental wall piece (180 x 140 cm) is made from a gold-coloured mirror and sculpted concrete, forming a layered visual field that reflects both the viewer and their environment.
Inspired by the writings and philosophy of 19th-century polymath Alexander von Humboldt, Quinda Verheul reimagines his vision of the world as a unified, living whole, a system where climate, land, cosmos and human presence are intrinsically linked. Through her material choices and reflective surfaces, she invites us to consider how shifting landscapes mirror internal transformations, and how we, like Humboldt, might learn to see connection in fragmentation.
