Daisy Zwartepoorte (1990), a textile artist based in Rotterdam, creates from her studio an magical soft world that serves as a refuge. It is a place where dreams take shape, and the boundaries of reality blur.
Her works arise from both the conscious and subconscious photographic memory and dream world of the creator, where images of both nature and the urban environment meld with perceived textures and colors, which surprisingly often form a remarkably recognizable connection with
each other.
Daisy’s creations, primarily sculptural vases infused with a botanical wonder, embody a sustainable beauty that forever radiates in their own soft strength. They arise from a harmonious fusion of natural elements. They contain not only flowers in the form of pigments extracted from flowers and plants but also carry the warm enclosure of wool, which blends seamlessly with the flexibility of natural rubber for a solid foundation.
Her works reside at the intersection of applied and autonomous art, aiming to transform the everyday into an extraordinary abstract form. And to provide the observer consciously or unconsciously to remembering the subdued beauty of the world around us.
