Aquamarine is a gemstone that comes in the colors pale green, blue-green, and light blue. Wonderful colors to see together in a jewel. Rineke made this ‘living room jewel’ Aquamarine with similar colours and sparkle as inspiration. It’s like an underwater world where the light shines in!

Discover “Spectrum,” a stunning 3D artwork constructed with Rineke’s signature glass strips. The soft transitions from color to color and the vivid hues create an atmospheric and bright contemporary image. The pleasure Rineke had while creating radiates from it.

If you take a photo with a trendy Polaroid camera, it has those white edges, necessary for development and transport by the camera. That image gave Rineke the idea for this glass work. The light is reflected in green and clear strips of glass. And the frame in the middle shows what’s behind the work. Peekaboo!

This delicate white glass work ‘Midwinter’ captures the serene atmosphere of the season. The transparency of the white glass allows subtle light to pass through. The sparkling elements on the glass reflect the light in changing colours, like winter jewels. They add a bit of magic to the cold winter landscape.

The first work in the series, called Tic-tac-toe, was on display in the exhibition Reflections in Glass in Persingen. Now Tic-tac and Tic are also ready. The series of 3 works is clearly recognizable as family, a clear glass surface of 3 by 3 squares containing various blue and clear rods as markings. They are beautifully framed and suitable for your wall.

With the holidays and New Year’s Eve approaching, it’s nice to look back. 2023 was the year in which Rineke broke through as an artist. Thanks to the organizers and volunteers of the many events where Rineke’s work was shown. Thanks to everyone who came to see Rineke’s work, at an event or online.

Rineke has enjoyed making her work and also the many conversations and comments. We hope to see you again in a sparkling 2024!
