Biography

Denise van der Burgh is a Dutch artist that is inspired by colour and weaves a narrative into her surreal oil paintings. Sometimes she explores a country, a thought, social issue or history by combining language, colour and details into her paintings.


Viewing her work a story slowly unfurls from all the elements of the painting.
