Abstract art has been wowing people for centuries thanks to creators like Jackson Pollock and Pablo Picasso.

This form of art is still widely celebrated today, with many artists continuing the legacy of these talented men and women with their own abstract pieces. One person who’s made a career for herself doing this is Jessica Hendrickx.

Hailing from the Netherlands, Jessica specializes in bold and colorful works that epitomize her love of self-expression. If you want to know more about her, here’s some of her must-know information.

She’s Inspired By Everything

Whether it be people, colors, or patterns, every artist is inspired by something. It’s this that fuels their creativity and empowers them to bring a piece of work to life.

This is no different for abstract artist Jessica Hendrickx. To her, the whole world is essentially her inspiration. She admits to viewing life with an open mind, a perspective that allows her to see a little bit of beauty in everything. That’s helped her to create a variety of scenes in her abstract paintings, from underwater landscapes to imaginary galaxies. 

She Loves Art Without Boundaries

The type of art that people create says a lot about them. Unfortunately, plenty of critics view abstract art as being something that anyone can make simply by throwing paint at a canvas. However, good abstract art requires intent, something that Hendrickx has every time she creates something. That’s not to say her work is bound by any rules or expectations, though.

She finds that working with the abstract provides her with endless possibilities of expression, allowing her to convey thoughts and emotions that she could never put into words. Her art is truly one of a kind – she never replicates anything – a quality that helps to invoke the imagination of those who see it. Nothing offers Hendrickx creative freedom quite like this.

She’s A Worldwide Sensation

Whether they be painters, writers, or dancers, most creative people crave having their work recognized. In order for them to forge a successful career out of their passion, they need others to acknowledge and value what they do. Fortunately, that’s something that Hendrickx has achieved numerous times in her life.

As it stands, her work appears in collections in Canada, Sweden, Japan, Australia, the US, the UK, and more. With at least one of her creations on display in over a dozen countries, it’s clear that her paintings have worldwide appeal. At the start of her career, this may have seemed like a dream scenario, but now it’s a firm reality.

She’s Still A Normal Person

No matter what perception you might have of artists, particularly abstract ones, Jessica isn’t really any different from the rest of us. She’s a proud food lover – particularly of pizza and cookies, which is an automatic thumbs up – and can’t get enough of coffee. She’s also not a fan of going to the dentist.

Something that sets Hendrickx apart from a lot of people is that she has a twin sister. However, it seems that Jessica was the only one to nurture her creative side, as her sibling is a doctor. The two followed different paths, as is often the case with twins, and went in as opposite a direction as they could work-wise from each other.

If Jessica’s art inspires you, hopefully getting to know more about her helps you see her paintings in a new light. Her abstract art is something special, and it’s good to understand more about the person who brings these creations to life.
