Machteld Eveline Zee, a self-taught Dutch artist born in 1984, immerses herself in the creation of contemporary artworks, finding solace and fulfillment within her creative process. With each fabric manipulation, brushstroke and color choice, she manifests a unique and captivating visual language that speaks to the depths of human emotions and experiences.

Yet, amidst the celebration of freedom and exuberance, Zee also delves into the depths of human struggle and vulnerability. Some of her works reveal a raw and unfiltered portrayal of a soul in distress, exposing the inherent complexities and contradictions of the human experience. In exploring this darker side, Zee confronts her own emotions and confronts the viewer with the raw essence of existence. It is through this poignant exploration that she achieves a profound connection with her own aliveness and the collective consciousness.
