The Feeling of Freedom - Lisbon. A street in Lisbon connected to a time of first independence. During her exchange, Lore felt free, discovered new parts of herself and grew closer to who she was becoming.

Summer Warmth - Czech Republic. A little castle in the Czech Republic where Martina spent her summers and where her grandmother Rose lived. Light, summery colours and roses bring the warmth and beauty of those memories to life.

Tender Beginnings. A vibrant portrait of Marcia and her granddaughter, capturing the tenderness of a time when her granddaughter was still very small. The bright colours reflect the warmth, love and care of those early days together.

Into Freedom - Spain. Rowan and Joppe with their surfboards, just before entering the waves. A moment filled with freedom, adventure and the anticipation of diving into the sea.

The Warmth of Sicily - Siracusa . An old Sicilian doorway surrounded by vibrant, flowering cacti, inspired by Siracusa, where we once lived. The contrast between the weathered door and the living colours captures something I love about Sicily: the warmth, beauty and feeling of a place shaped by time.

The Joy of Wandering - Le Marais, Paris. Inspired by several trips to my favourite Parisian neighbourhood. Cozy restaurants, little shops and beautiful streets make Le Marais a place where simply wandering around feels like enough.

A Summer of Possibilities - Beynac-et-Cazenac, France. A beautiful summer in the French village of Beynac-et-Cazenac, spent with one of my closest friends. Surrounded by the castle and the quiet village, we dreamed about the future and all its possibilities.

Where Time Stands Still - Terschelling, The Netherlands. The little things you remember.

A Sense of Awe - Chamonix, France. A small church beneath the enormous Alps in Chamonix. Inspired by a photograph of a place I would love to visit, I was drawn to the contrast between the tiny church and the vast mountains behind it.

A House from Another Time - Heusden, The Netherlands . A 17th-century house in the historic town of Heusden, with beautiful rounded shapes and warm orange details. There’s something about looking at this house that makes you feel as though you’ve stepped into another time. It's a small glimpse of the history still felt in the streets around it.

Quiet Wonder - My Baby’s Point of View . A view from beneath the trees, inspired by watching my baby peacefully look up at the leaves and listen to the wind. A tiny, fleeting moment I wanted to hold onto.

The Feeling of Freedom - Lisbon A street in Lisbon connected to a time of first independence. During her exchange, Lore felt free, discovered new parts of herself and grew closer to who she was becoming.

Testimonials

Photo of Marcia Barbosa Fronza — I chose a moment between me and my granddaughter that I will always remember as ours: the way she looked up at me while I was feeding her.
The painting is beautiful, delicate, and deeply emotional. Danique captured not only the photograph, but the feeling behind it.
Marcia Barbosa Fronza@marciabfronza

Photo of Martina — I was speechless because you got it perfect. Unwrapping it brought tears to my eyes.
It brought me back to my childhood and all the memories of that place.
Now this memory isn't only in my mind. It's captured forever, and I can look at it every day beside my grandma's photo.
Martina@martinamensikova

Photo of Rowan & Joppe — This takes me straight back to our van trip around Spain.
The surf, the sea, and that feeling of being completely free.
Danique captured such a special moment for us. We love having it on our wall.
Rowan & Joppe@rowanvandekerkhof

Photo of Lore Merckx — I was immediately impressed when I first saw the painting. The warm, vibrant colours and beautiful details brought back so many memories of this place and the sense of freedom it gave me.
Now it hangs on my wall, bringing not only colour but a wonderful feeling of nostalgia. The personal note that came with it made it even more special. ❤️
