Dutch contemporary
painter Lotte Teussink
 

. 

Lotte Teussink is a Dutch artist working between figurative and abstract painting. Her practice moves freely between different worlds: from quiet, narrative figures to the open, layered paintings of her growing series Nebular Fields.

While her earlier work often revolved around characters, symbolism and inner landscapes, her more recent paintings explore space, rhythm, light and material. Both directions exist alongside each other and continue to influence one another.

Lotte works intuitively, allowing paintings to emerge through movement, feeling and experimentation. Some works begin with a clear atmosphere or memory, while others develop without a fixed plan — through layers, colour fields and unexpected forms that slowly reveal themselves during the painting process.

She primarily works with oil paint on canvas and panel, while also incorporating charcoal, pencil and mixed media on paper. Her work balances between control and surrender, stillness and intensity.

After graduating from the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam, she participated in several artist residencies and spent years developing a distinctive figurative visual language. In recent years, her practice has increasingly opened toward abstraction and a more liberated way of working.

Lotte works from her studio in Middelharnis, the Netherlands. Her work is collected internationally and regularly presented through online releases, exhibitions and selected art platforms.
