What a special experience it was to welcome so many visitors during the Open Studio Days. A weekend filled with art, curious eyes, meaningful conversations, and personal encounters that will stay with me for a long time.

On March 8, Laura Boudesteijn won the ArtBattle in Amsterdam! This live painting competition challenges artists to create a painting in just 20 minutes, while hundreds of spectators watch in real time. The audience votes for the winner, and this year, they chose Laura’s work.

Laura Boudesteijn is proud to announce that two of her paintings have become part of the Urban Cotton collection. These works are now available as art prints, making her emotionally expressive portraits accessible to a wider audience.

Laura Boudesteijn is proud to announce that her work has been selected for the Kunstprijs Waalwijk 2026. This prestigious award highlights talented artists from the region and provides a platform to showcase their work.

Last November, Laura Boudesteijn exhibited at the National Art Fair in the Exhibition Hall in Gorinchem an inspiring environment where art, creativity, and meaningful encounters took center stage. For three days, the venue was filled with enthusiastic visitors, passionate artists, and art lovers.

What began as an experiment with black-and-white striped clothing evolved into a series of portraits that raise questions about seeing and being seen.Twelve women, all in their thirties strangers, yet familiar.They wear the same pattern, yet each portrait tells a different story.
