Anniek Verholt is a Dutch multidisciplinary artist based between Brighton and Athens. Working across painting, sculpture and installation, she explores colour, materiality and the relationship between the external world and our internal experience of it.
Her practice is driven by an interest in perception and the ways in which attention, memory and emotion shape what we see. Through layered surfaces, colour and process-led experimentation, she creates works that invite contemplation, ambiguity and personal interpretation.
Alongside her studio practice, Verholt has worked for over twenty-five years within the field of therapeutic arts. This longstanding engagement with human experience, observation and reflection continues to inform her approach to making.
Verholt holds a BA in Art Therapy and an MA in Glass. Her work has been exhibited in the UK and internationally, including London, Athens, Hong Kong and the Netherlands. In 2023, her video work Breathe was projected as a large-scale public installation in central Brighton.
