ARTIS-Groote Museum

Natura ARTIS Magistra: Nature is the teacher of art and science. This is what ARTIS has stood for since 1838. Nature continues to inspire us with its beauty, ingenuity and complexity. And where nature inspires wonder, art naturally follows.

ARTIS-Groote Museum invites renowned artists to create art in the museum.

In a specially designed studio at the heart of the museum, four artists take turns creating new works live, sharing insights into their creative process and their connection to nature with visitors.

Anouk Griffioen

Nature gradually came to play an increasingly important role in Anouk Griffioen’s work. While she began by drawing portraits, human elements eventually disappeared from her drawings altogether. Griffioen photographs nature and brings together fragments of it, from the structures of branches to the spaces between them. The result is landscapes that feel familiar but do not actually exist anywhere: nature that can only be explored through her art.
