ANTOINETTE FERWERDA

Antoinette Ferwerda is a mother, a gallery owner and an Australian artist known for creating bold artworks with a masterful use of colour and texture.  

From an early age Antoinette has been drawn to the alluring world of art which has led to a career spanning more than 25 years, creating deep connections through abstract and metaphysical representations of the world around us. 

Antoinette represents her art in Melbourne and is represented by art galleries in Sydney, New York and London. 

Working in her studio situated behind the Gallery, Antoinette creates every artwork with her signature positive energy, artistic finesse and a wealth of experience. Her mixed media techniques set her work apart, harnessing transparent layering and rich inky drips just as important to her process as her sources of creative inspiration. These careful and skilful steps result in beautifully textured art that heroes colour, depth and flow. Expansive florals become universal realms, three-dimensional panels shift architectural paradigms and memorable rhythmic arches are instantly identifiable.
