Bloeme van Bon (Schiedam, 1989) graduated as Master in illustration from Sint-Lucas Antwerp in 2015, as part of the artist duo Park Pardon. Over the years, she developed her own style of painting inspired by expressionism and naive art. Human forms merge seamlessly with natural environments, expressing themselves in a mystical and introspective narrative.
‘Veil of Time’ duoshow with Sofia Pashaei 05.04 - 04.05.2025
In ‘Veil of Time’, Bloeme van Bon and Sofia Pashaei cross their brushes and shed light on the fluid boundary between identity and time. Bloeme van Bon presents a series of works where human figures are the central starting point, but rather as a means of visualising something: the paintings explore complex human nature through a subtle, almost meditative lens. ‘I start from a feeling and let it evolve slowly. The most crucial part of the process is the search ─ creating something from nothing until it feels right.’
