Fiery and swaying, that is the Spanish dance Flamenco. Rineke made a new glass object in the series of dances, followig previous dances like Tango, Paso doble and Rain dance. The flamenco dancer’s rustling skirts are deep red and solid in color on the inside. The exterior captures the temperament of the dance. Olé!!

Castle combines clear and moss-green glass to take the shape of a medieval castle. Light plays on the surface, creating subtle patterns and reflections. This piece captures the essence of a castle, blending the traditional form with modern design.

“Rhythm and blues” is an intriguing glass artwork that captures the essence of this style of music in visual form. It combines elegance with dynamics and breathes a sense of movement. The rhythm of Rineke’s characteristic glass strips topped with the blues of the round elements evokes emotion and creativity. A perfect addition to any space that needs vibrancy.

The vast rectangular fields of arable farming in the Flevopolder were the inspiration for creating this work, Polder. Repeating blocks, intersected with interruptions, but in glass. Fantastic for those who love patterns.

In the weekend Rineke visited the new showroom of Carolin Zibulka in Kleve, just across the border near Nijmegen. Carolin creates beautiful 3D glass panels with a technique she calls Lavacoating. In her showroom you can admire and possibly purchase a piece of her collection of artwork. On Saturdays and Sundays you can visit her by appointment.
Rineke and Carolin organized the duo exhibition together last year during Reflections in Glass in the Kerkje in Persingen and can be seen together again this year. But before then, a visit to Carolin’s showroom is well worth it!

The Airgunners from the Second World War, were present at the commemoration of the dead in Rineke’s former hometown of Dronten. Their relatives each place a ‘poppy’ to commemorate their loved ones. War always only leaves loss. Lest we forget.
