Suus Kooijman creates abstract paintings and wall objects that explore the balance between material, emotion, and time. Inspired by nature, human presence, and the traces time leaves behind, her work is characterized by refined, poetic layering. With a background in fashion and design, she eventually shifted her focus to autonomous art, driven by a desire for creative freedom.

Through experimentation and material research, Kooijman was drawn to the tactile qualities of a painting’s surface. Her body of work includes large, abstract compositions, layered wall objects, and smaller encaustic pieces. Each invites the viewer to move beyond observation, offering a sensory experience that reveals quiet narratives hidden within the material itself.
