Micke Buitendag, born in Cape Town, South Africa, is a self-taught contemporary artist. Initially studying business, she turned to art for therapy and self-expression. Her mixed-media works feature dark brushstrokes, coffee granules, and textured layers, exploring themes of femininity, identity, and human connection. Micke’s pieces combine abstract acrylics, digital strokes, and hidden portraits on high-gloss acrylic panels. Each work is a unique reflection of personal and collective identity.
