The bright red glass artwork Scarlet with white accents, reflects the feeling of Valentine’s Day. Passionate red symbolizes love, white adds tenderness. A powerful, romantic work of art.

What a wonderful energy there was at the Art Market from 2 to 4 February 2024 during the Rotterdam Art Week. Organiser Unity in Diversity lived up to its name with a particularly varied range of work by very diverse artists. Rineke really enjoyed showing her work there and talking to the equally diverse visitors. It was like a party!

Two nice mentions of Rineke’s work one week! With ‘Spectrum’ in the online Colors exhibition of the Barbagelata Contemporary Art Foundation and with ‘Embrace’ on the cover of the Art Collective!

It doesn’t matter where you are, what the weather is like or what season it is. The two-sided object Abundance sparkles in the light and automatically transports you to a fresh flower bed in spring.

Glass is a hard material. But when you fuse strips of glass with sharp edges together in the oven, it becomes round and soft to the touch. It feels like a warm embrace through a soft blanket of glass, a sweet hug.

Rineke enjoys using different colours to create shapes in the glass. You can see that nicely in this work Facet. Where the blue and green strips of glass touch each other, the shape of a facet emerges. A sparkling play with the use of colour.
