Doris Kolpa (1996) is a Rotterdam-based artist and alumnus from the St. Joost Academy. Kolpa describes her paintings as inner landscapes where stories unfold. She plays with elements from the existing world to express emotions and experiences, inspired by her immediate surroundings, the city she grew up in, memories of places, and the digital world. With a poetic and symbolic language, she depicts the position of nature, femininity, and intuition in contemporary times. In her paintings Kolpa seeks to make visible what is hidden, forgotten, or suppressed.

Painter based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands
