\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFor Sharon of Studio Vreeken, art has always come naturally. \u201cI\u2019ve been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember,\u201d<\/i> she says. Still, it took a while before she realised that this love could become her profession. Through fashion, architecture and eventually product design, she found her way into the interior world. And it was there, among materials, atmospheres and styles, that the pieces of the puzzle began to fall into place.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cIn the interior industry, I saw how art elevates a space and completes it. That was the moment everything clicked: my interest in design, my love for interiors and my drive to create again.\u201d<\/i> When she was allowed to create an entire art collection for a project through her job, Sharon realised it was time to start Studio Vreeken<\/a> . Commissions, collaborations and visibility soon followed. \u201cThings began rolling on their own the moment I started making and sharing more.\u201d<\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAlthough Sharon works mostly from intuition, her background in product design is always with her. \u201cI don\u2019t think product design directly defines my work, but everything you\u2019ve ever learnt shows up somewhere,\u201d<\/i> she says. She uses her sketching skills, Adobe knowledge and practical mindset daily. That combination of intuitive painting and design thinking gives her art a strong balance between aesthetics and usability. \u201cI mostly create from my own preferences in linework and colour palettes, but I do think about whether others will like it. Although honestly, there\u2019s no predicting that,\u201d<\/i> she laughs.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tInspiration is something Sharon never has to look for; it simply flows. Sometimes it\u2019s a dream, a vague colour palette<\/a> that lingered somewhere, or the feeling of a place. \u201cMy subconscious stores everything, and later it suddenly comes back when I start a new piece.\u201d<\/i> She names Mark Rothko as a favourite for his depth, but retro influences<\/a>, the colours of HK Living and even South American westerns also shape her world.

\nShe also has a deep love for diversity: different cultures, people and characteristics. \u201cI don\u2019t know exactly what artistic movement that belongs to, but it speaks to me and keeps returning.\u201d<\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Finding a personal signature: freedom as a strength<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSharon\u2019s work is known for the calmness, warmth and humanity that radiates from it, but that signature didn\u2019t appear overnight. \u201cFor a long time, I was searching for my own style. At first, I let myself be influenced quite a lot by what I saw online.\u201d<\/i> She began by repainting images she admired\u2014not to copy, but to understand what drew her to them. \u201cThe positive reactions motivated me to continue and discover new techniques. Only later did I find ways to make it truly my own.\u201d<\/i>

Female portraits remain a golden thread in her work, but her style continues to shift.\n\u201cI can\u2019t choose between realistic, illustrative, neutral or colourful. But maybe that\u2019s exactly my strength: my style is just as changeable as I am.\u201d<\/i>

\nSharon never paints with the intention of forcing a certain emotion. \u201cI simply make what I find beautiful or what fits into an interior. Sometimes it\u2019s linked to a memory, like my piece Nasi Goreng Bintang, which goes back to our trip through Indonesia.\u201d<\/i> She loves when people recognise something in her work, but prefers to leave room for their own interpretation. \u201cThere\u2019s no hidden message. It\u2019s exactly what you see in it.\u201d<\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
