José Sintnicolaas, born in Eindhoven, began her journey as an artist after a successful career in business. She decided to follow the art academy in Belgium to learn traditional painting techniques and discover her creative voice.

Her long-term stay in Asia has had a profound impact on her work. Witnessing the large-scale pollution and deforestation in the region, she felt an urgent need to use her art as a tribute to the earth. This led to her EARTH series, in which she creates abstract landscapes that are not only visually stimulating but also radiate a powerful message of sustainability and awareness.

In her studio in Tilburg, she works with various materials such as (premous) stones, glass, sand and rice paper, adding texture and depth to her paintings. She invites the viewer to give his own interpretation to her work, making each experience unique and strengthening the connection with nature.

Her love for nature, taught from an early age, is the driving force behind her creations. Her goal is to create a greater awareness of sustainability through her art. This pursuit has led her, among other things, to Wageningen University, where she exhibited at the invitation.

Her works are spread over several continents through exhibitions in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Netherlands and Belgium. During her residence in Italy, José participated in the Biennale in Florence.

José is represented by galleries in Knokke, via Gallery Woussen, in Antwerp via Gallery Living Stone Art and in the Netherlands via Gallery SEB. You can also find her artworks in the Hilton hotel Old Centre in Antwerp via Living Stone Art Gallery.
