Name: Esther Barend Country: Belgium Job: artist 24/7 URL: http://www.estherbarend.eu About: I was born in an artistic family in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. After finishing my studies, I worked and lived in Paris and Amsterdam and afterwards established myself as a designer of jewellery. Several years later I started classes at the Academy of Fine Arts in Arendonk, Belgium. After 3 years I quit school, because it did not inspire me anymore. Hereafter, during the years, I developed my very own style. It was not that I planned it, it just happened. I’m always looking further, seeking for development, experimenting, trying to open up new horizons and surpass myself. Nowadays I live and work in Belgium. Get inspired by: My work shows the visualisation of my complex inner world, which is stimulated by the sign of the times and my personal life experiences. Somehow I always manage to give a positive twist to negative things, trying to bring my life and my art to a higher level with the idealistic wish to take the viewer along. At the same time, I do not want to determine for someone else what a particular artwork has to signify. I want to hit and move the spectator, confirm or loosen something, with the result that he/she uses his/her own imagination. Everything is possible, no boundaries, no standards, no expectations, but total freedom.
