Kitty van Straaten at Thicker than Water

Kitty’s drawings spring from her rich imagination and experiences. She creates drawings with colored pencils or oil pastels, filled with beautiful colors and shapes. Portraits of beautiful women in striking dresses and a child in their arms. Exotic islands where you would love to be. Belly dancers, beautiful castles, and so on. But also darker images with dragons, skulls, and abysses. Kitty’s work excels in decorative effects. There is always something new to discover in her narrative style of working. Sometimes she even incorporates a coin or a sparkling jewel into her drawing. She gives all her drawings clear titles because they originate from something she has been working on in her head for a while (text: Ateliers De Wijde Doelen )
