There are two ways of spreading light to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it

BIOGRAPHY by Paula Kouwenhoven
|
Born in the Netherlands, but living and working in Italy for years.
Yvonne Muizert contains several layers as an artist within her. In these layers different emotions become visible, depending on the material and the discipline she is working with. These differences are clearly perceptible in her canvasses, sculptures and digital work. But they all bear one resemblance: the analytical capacities of the artist.
This is not so surprising. Yvonne Muizert has a past of being an tecnician, making analyses and comment on them is her second nature. She always researches her theme or subject and also does this with the materials she wants to use. Her creative and passionate spirit always takes a human measure in this. She makes the subject and the materials merge into each other in a way that we, the observers, immediately recognize a human emotion in her creation. We look in the mirror of the soul of the artist. Look at her sculpture ‘El Misterio’ or her painting ‘Structure in Chaos’ and feel the warmth she is radiating towards us.
In her ‘Viaggio a Serenità’ Yvonne Muizert has found a new way. A way of equanimity and peace, a way of serenity. A Dutch writer once said it so capturing: ‘Serenity is the triumph of the (antique) art.’ And in this way Yvonne Muizert triumphs over herself, look at her (new) art she created in 2011 on one of the Japanese Okinawa islands. On beautiful Japanese paper she conjures up scenes of pure rest and harmony, in which a rhythmic game of lines awakens suggestions of the serene nature around her. A prevailing white accentuates the power of Muizert’s language: her inner rests that shapes an overwhelming silence.
The art of Yvonne Muizert is for those, who are prepared to return some of its warmth. Only then can the artist go forward on her road to inspiration and structure in her art. A wholesome road.
