Siets, was born in 1986 as Sietske Pelgrum and has been working as an independent artist since 2011. She started her art career as a graphic designer and quickly got interested in photography. When working as an art director she started expanding her creativity in creating art. Nowadays she is full time autonomous artist and is constantly developing her work.
Her artistic development from the conscious to the subconscious is reflected in the subject matter, style and technique of her works. Within a couple of years her style grew from digital design to mixed media paintings. Her artwork is influenced by surrealism, symbolism and expressionism.
The paintings are mostly figurative, with animal and human features morphing into one another. While working on a painting she lets her creativity flow and intuition take over. There is no preconceived plan, her work is a reflection of a state of being and constantly changing. Creating art is a way of understanding herself and the world around her; trying to explore and define reality, the subconscious and collective symbolism.
