Had fun making this long then collage strip from all kinds of leftover pieces!

'Be my complement'. With this piece I challenged myself to use a limited palette and to paint over a lot of darlings to make the design simpler. This will be exhibited in September in galerie Arti-Shock in Rijswijk.

My in studio course is filling up fast: Deep-dive-into-collage A few spots left on Friday and Saturday. Check out my website for all info. Early bird discount until August 15! www.tessamaagdenberg.com/workshops/de...

Many reasons why I love this piece! That yummy red that pops off the painting because it's surrounded by these muted colors and chromatic grays. The layers are delicious, some translucency, or a hint of underlying color. Fresh off-white gives a feeling of openness and dark brown so chocolaty!.

Collage made with photos I made of worn painted surfaces and ornamental shapes.

Peace, flowers and some good coffee, that's all. Collage on mounting board, handpainted and printed papers The yellow vase, 21 x 29,7 cm

Pinky Promise, 40x40cm, acrylics on wooden panel.

Not one but two paintings purchased by this lovely new collector! Grateful artist here! 🙏🏽

A quick update: The next PAE will take place in the Hague in the Netherlands, spring 2026, raising funds for Alzheimer's Disease. The call for artists will come in the fall. The curator is @tessawm-artist.bsky.social Please reach out to her if you are local & wish to help on the ground. TY! -David

Purple Rain, 40x40cm Acrylics on wooden panel, 2025

Figuring this one out today.

It's wonderful to see many of our artists here! As the social media landscape is changing, we need to find new ways to connect. Please share our profile with artists that you believe can help our simple concept of creating a hand-painted postcard that is then exhibited and sold for charity.

When you're not feeling well and still push ahead to prepare for a show, things go wrong...

Embodiment, 2024 Acrylics on wooden panel

Created this collage last night with gfsmith papers for a challenge.

Pinky promise, 2025, 40x40cm, acrylics on wood.

Collage on paper. This one was hidden in a book and fell out this week at a perfect time and I finished it.

Meet Mr. Loverman, he's been around in my studio for a while now. He needed some adjusting, finetuning, extra focus, and filtering the parts that were too loud. Now that he has his colors straight, he can get a final coating of medium. I am looking forward to spending some time with him on my wall.

20x20cm collage with old wallpaper, handprinted papers and transfers.

Working on this one. Not sure about the green..

Limited palette collage, handprinted papers and old wallpaper.

Collage on installed watercolor papers with handpainted and handprinted papers and just a bit of green.

Saturated versus desaturated shapes, warm against cool areas, a limited palette. So many iterations, slowly getting there. #abstract #dutchfemaleabstractartist #ornamentalabstractpainting #ornamentalabstracts #acrylicpainting #araacrylics #filterandfocus #artfuelstudio #contemporaryartist #colors

See that green piece? That's why I called this Emerald! It's so saturated and yummy! Emerald, 40x40cm, acrylics on wooden panel 2023

After a full week of teaching I managed to grab 20 mins and make this collage. Limited palette, yellow black and white. . . . #abstractartist #abstraktekunst #abstractartlovers #dutchfemaleartist #everemerging
