Casper Waaijer (1995) is a Dutch visual artist based in Amsterdam, known for his multidisciplinary approach that bridges craft and contemporary art. As a self-taught artist, he has developed a unique visual language that combines traditional techniques like tufting, weaving, screen-printing, and painting.

His work is inspired by both nature and architecture, resulting in richly layered compositions that balance structure with spontaneity. By blending materials, textures, and colors in surprising ways, Waaijer aims to spark curiosity and a sense of wonder in the viewer.

His intuitive process and eye for harmony have earned him growing recognition within the Dutch art scene. In 2024, he received the John & Marine Van Vlissingen Art Foundation Prize, a prestigious award supporting emerging artistic talent. The prize acknowledges the originality and craftsmanship at the heart of Waaijer’s practice, and affirms his rising influence in contemporary art.
