Maaike Plugge (The Netherlands, 1999) is an artist and illustrator, who works with her intuition and through experimentation. In her art she explores the inner self and the world in which it resides. She likes to take a poetic approach, but also loves to play around a bit with a comical approach. Besides the story the image tells, she also experiments with the different kinds of materials and textures, to see how they react and compliment each other. Whether it be with paint, pencil, ceramics or whatever else she can get her hands on. She bases the composition, colors and the whole look of the work in general on her intuition.
