Yvonne Backs

Yvonne has been an active member of Studio Borgerstein since 2015. At the beginning of her trajectory at the studio, Yvonne exploded different techniques. So she worked with pencil, gouache, pastel, charcoal, … The most interesting material for her turned out to be acrylic paint. Nowadays she mostly chooses this painting technique.

Yvonne is inspired by a wide range of pictures from magazines and books. In her choice of images, she falls mainly on group portraits and family photos. In her first draft, she looks for a beautiful stylization of forms, which are then worked through with a warm and rich use of color. In recent years, Yvonne has been working on being able to better render hands and faces and it is paying off. A beautiful work by Yvonne was sold and is now hanging in New York! Her work is typified by its sensitive and poetic staging with various characters.
