Overview

"My truth is different from yours. Yet we both see the truth.
My presence is different from yours. Yet we both are present!"

Nanon Morsink embraces mixed media as the core of her artistic practice, integrating diverse materials into a cohesive and thought-provoking visual language. Her work is distinguished by the creation of captivating figures and paintings, blending painting, sculpture, and textile art with recycled elements, such as rope and plastic from Andalusian greenhouses, to explore themes of identity, transformation, and environmental awareness.

Constantly evolving, Morsink pushes her work in new and unexpected directions, maintaining a style that is fresh, ironic, and distinctive. Irony plays a fundamental role in her work, allowing her to question established realities and provoke critical reflection through the contrast between materials and message. Through material experimentation and layered narratives, she challenges artistic conventions and invites viewers to engage with themes of femininity, resilience, and the complexities of human experience.

Biography

Nanon Morsink (b. 1964, Netherlands) is a multidisciplinary artist known for her mixed media and textile-based works that explore themes of identity, femininity, and the human experience. With a background in graphic arts from the Art Academy Enschede (AKI/Artez) and a deep engagement with found materials, textiles, and paint, Morsink creates evocative pieces that blur the lines between painting, sculpture, and textile art.

Her work is strongly centered around the portrayal of women, using intricate layering and tactile elements to reflect the power and vulnerability of female identity. Her most recent work includes textile sculptures, where she experiments with form and texture to create emotionally charged, visceral responses.

Since relocating to Andalucía, Spain, in 2017, Morsink has expanded her artistic practice, exhibiting locally and internationally in institutions such as Museo de Arte de Almería and participating in major art fairs like ESTAMPA Madrid and URVANITY Art Fair. She has also been recognized for her contributions to contemporary fiber art, exhibiting in the Biennale di Fiber Art Contemporanea (Italy) and SCYTHIA Mini Textile Art (Ukraine).

Beyond her personal practice, Morsink has played an active role in the art community, serving as a member of the Art Committee in Hengelo (Netherlands) and contributing to public art projects and commissions. Her work challenges conventions and invites viewers to contemplate the complexity of identity and transformation through innovative material use and conceptual depth.
