Mosaic artist Anoek Rosenhart – NH News
Tip 1: Beautiful mosaics by Anouk Rosenhart at Kunstlijn Haarlem
This weekend and next weekend you can go to all kinds of places in Haarlem for art during Kunstlijn Haarlem. Dozens of artists exhibit not only in museums and galleries but also in restaurants, cafes and the town hall. Anouk Rosenhart is one of those artists. She makes mosaic art. You are probably familiar with the beautiful mosaics of bathing ladies or warriors on horseback in excavated Roman villas or the mosaics of saints in churches. Anouk followed a classical mosaic training in Italy where she learned all the techniques. Back in the Netherlands she specialized in abstract works of art. She makes the most beautiful patterns with stones she cut herself. She gets inspiration from the world around her. She sees patterns in trees, letters or cemeteries and then turns them into mosaics.
Kunstlijn Haarlem 2023 can be visited on the weekends of 4 and 5 and 11 and 12 November at various locations in Haarlem.
