Hi!
My name is Pam van Manen, I am a twenty-six years old artist based in Utrecht, the Netherlands. I recently graduated with a Master’s degree in Visual Arts and Post-Contemporary Practice at the Master Institute of Visual Cultures. In June 2020 I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design from the University of the Arts Utrecht (HKU).
I am a visual artist and a poet. The media that my work primarily consists of are photography, collage-art, poetry, spoken word and painting. I also like to combine my visual work with text and language. Additionally, I have recently been experimenting with video and installation art and I would like to more fully explore those mediums in the future.
As a woman, a feminist, and someone who is part of the LGBT+ community, I am keenly aware of the huge progress that we have already made in both women’s rights and queer rights, and how lucky I am to be born in the twenty-first century. However, I also believe that we have still got a long way to go. That is why my art is often about the fight for equality. With this comes the potential to make a change in our society, even if it is just incremental. That, for me, is one of the main goals I hope to achieve with my artwork!
If you have any questions, are interested in a collaboration or would just like to say hi, do not hesitate to contact me! :)
I am always up for a chat about my art (or your art, or your dog.. Please feel free to send me a message!)
Liefs,
Pam
