Visual Artist
Daan Roukens is a Dutch visual artist, who is best known for his diverse and colourful abstract self-portraits.
From translating his controlled chaos to reflecting on everyday dilemmas, he searches for an in-between experience and feels the strong need to take the viewer into his process. By means of patterns, colour and abstraction, he paints the doubt and aims to make that inner conflict visible and perceptible.
He obtained his Master of Fine Art degree at the Sandberg Instituut in Amsterdam and also uses video, ceramics and textiles to create his work.

With great pleasure I like to announce that I’m part of a small group exhibition at Zinder Expo. A space for contemporary visual arts in Tiel, the Netherlands. The exhibition is part of a larger project I’m participating in, which is called ‘Van Hanze Tot Heden’. The exhibition runs till the 18th of April at Zinder Expo.
In which tradition?
March 2nd, 2022 | Other
Now that I slowly can get back to work, I have some renewed energy to write a blog again. This summer I read the book ‘Het Sublieme‘. An interesting book about the meaning of ‘the sublime’, which made me think about my role within the art world. ‘In which tradition does my work fit into?’ was the question that mostly stuck.
”From irritation to admiration, from fight to resignation, from wanting to step out to being too curious to stop looking. Intriguing”
