about the artist

Hi there!

I’m Pam van Manen, a visual artist and poet based in Utrecht, The Netherlands. In 2022, I wrapped up my master’s degree in Visual Arts and Post-Contemporary Practice, after completing my bachelor’s in Graphic Design. Right now, I’m focusing on my artistic journey and am open to commissions, collaborations, and exhibitions!

I work across a lot of different mediums—photography, collage, poetry, spoken word, and painting—and my art often explores topics that really matter to me, like feminism, intersectionality, and (gender)queerness. These are themes I’m deeply passionate about, and I try to bring them to life through my work.

If you’re curious, want to collaborate, or just want to say hi, feel free to reach out! I’m always up for a chat!

Liefs,

Pam (she/they)
