About

Hello and thank you for visiting my website. My name is Frances Ibink and I am a Dutch abstract painter.

My abstract paintings carry a message deeply rooted in the journey toward becoming our most authentic selves and living a meaningful and happy life. Both we and the world around us are constantly evolving, which is why I believe we will always be "A Work Of Art In Progress”. This dynamic process is what makes life so fascinating, yet it can also be complex and challenging.

Painting provides me with the space to pause and express my feelings, observations, lessons, thoughts, and questions as I navigate this intriguing journey called "life". My ultimate goal with my work is to convey a sense of hope, light, love, or joy as I believe these are the things we and the world need most.

I am currently a self-represented artist, selling my work online and shipping worldwide from my studio in the Netherlands. For behind-the-scenes glimpses and updates on new collection releases, you can follow me on Instagram.

Thank you for your interest in my work. I love creating my paintings and shipping them to collectors around the world I truly find an honour.

Nature is my Muse

I was born and raised in a small town in the Netherlands, where I spent most weekends with my family in the forest or on the beach. I have always loved being in nature and witnessing the transformation of Mother Earth with each season. The extraordinary beauty of nature never ceases to amaze me. While I now enjoy living in a city, I can’t imagine a life without spending time in nature. It helps me connect with myself, find inner peace, and rejuvenate. To me, nature is the highest form of art - an endless source of inspiration for both life and my work.
