Between pause and presence, stories unfold
Original contemporary art
A single artwork can redefine the atmosphere of a room. Bringing depth, presence, and timeless value.
My work captures the complexity of introspection and the tenderness of presence, offering not just an image but an experience.
Collectors often tell me these pieces become part of their daily rhythm, sparking conversation, shifting energy, and enriching life at home.
about the artist
Saskia van Drunen (1971) is a Dutch artist whose process reveals an artist deeply engaged in the exploration of the inner emotional lives of her subjects, often capturing the quiet, vulnerable moments of women in a way that feels both personal and universal. Her technique combines careful figurative detail with abstracted, textured elements, creating a sense of timelessness and depth that resonates with viewers on an intimate level. Through her thoughtful use of colour, shape, and texture, she not only portrays beauty but also evokes the complexity of personal introspection, inviting viewers to find their own reflections within her work.
Saskia’s work is a burst of life and energy, and it invites the viewer to discover and connect with their own emotions.

Kind words from collectors
I purchased one of Saskia’s “The eyes have it series” Saskia eye painting spoke to me! I am a 41 year type one diabetic and I have eye stuff. I cherish that I can see, so I bought this and it hangs in my bedroom. Not only did I receive the painting packaged so nicely, Saskia included other prints as a thank you and I have framed that and have it in my office. I am so impressed with her art as well as customer service . THANK YOU SASKIA!

I bought a handmade journal with painted cover from Saskia, and it is not only beautiful, but sooo nice to work in! The paper takes any kind of media I have tried, can stand up to a lot of water, and the signatures are done in such a way that the pages lie flat and are easy to work on. Also, there is something special about original art work. I can see the brushstrokes, feel texture, in a way that you just can’t get from a print. So glad I bought this!

Saskia is one of my favorite current artists. Her beautiful and artful renderings are rich with emotion, movement, and life. I’m lucky to have discovered this talented artist and hope to have more of her works in the future.

Thank you so much for the AMAZING free lesson. I believe it is the most generous art lesson I have ever seen! The lesson is a piece of art in and of itself! There is SO much information, so honestly and openly presented! I was drawn into a magical world and mesmerized watching you paint. I cannot wait to watch it again and paint with you. I struggle with looseness and mark making. Watching your girl emerge as you share with us your entire process so clearly, I believe I can actually achieve it myself. THANK YOU, Saskia! This is a beautiful gift!
