Gemma Koomen makes paintings and illustrations in gouache and ink about the little things that she loves; real and imaginary wildflowers and plants, small people in big places, animals that you could maybe have a conversation with, thoughtful objects and tiny homes.
With her illustrated world Gemma aims to open up a little door of tenderness and peacefulness, which in turn helps her (and hopefully others) to notice and enjoy the beauty of small things. Gemma’s work is a constant opportunity to embrace imperfection and seek simplicity.
