Judith Bruijnzeels, born on the 22nd of June 1985 in Breda, The Netherlands, is currently living in Maastricht.

In my work I like to challenge myself and the viewer to question today's visual language. What do words mean, can an image have a strong impact in all of its simplicity–or is the paper on which it exists as important as the ink it was drawn with?

I like to narrow things down to their core, until I've found a way to translate the subjects chosen by me into the imagination of the viewer. The way these objects can be viewed must be manipulated by me, I abstract but still want control of the way the drawing is to be regarded.
