Dutch born visual artist, Louise van Alenburg (6 October 1964), studied art at the Vrije Academie in The Netherlands. She has been living in different countries for the past 15 years and these places left their mark upon her. She studied at the Chinese Brush Painting Society in Bangkok, took Batik lessons in Malaysia and in Russia she painted at the Artist Union with renowned artist Viktor Kovalevski.
She has been leading several art groups and had group- and solo exhibitions in Thailand, Malaysia, Russia and Canada. Her works are included in private and corporate collections all over the world, including the Russian Regional Museum of Sakhalin Oblast.
The international moves cause major changes to her life. She often finds herself "In Limbo" between here and there and now and the near future". Painting and writing poetry is a way to deal with these uncertainties.
With her symbolic and semi-abstract paintings Louise poses questions concerning our emotions. The recent paintings that dance between realism and abstraction generate warm and cold feelings. She does not shy away from experiments.

I see poetry in art and vice versa.
