Born in 1995 in The Hague (Netherlands), Renske Linders has been residing in Paris since 2022, after obtaining her degree in Art & Culture from Erasmus University in Rotterdam in 2021.
With her oil paintings, the artist captures intimate and fulfilled moments, evoking love, rebirth, and exploration, while consistently celebrating the female form.
Through compositions imbued with softness and mystery, Renske's work conveys a message of hope and emancipation.
As a hyperrealist artist, Linders transforms everyday feminine objects into powerful visual enigmas. In her work "The Shoe", for instance, she metamorphoses a simple stiletto into an almost threatening element, using meticulous details and tight framing that invites introspection. Through her paintings, she explores how women are shaped by social norms, often portraying faceless subjects, reducing them to fragments that ignite the imagination.
Her exhibition "Revenge Dress" critiques the beauty and fashion mandates that confine women to roles of objects of desire. Linders draws from her own experiences, including her career as a model, and from the lives of the women around her to challenge a society obsessed with perfection. In works like "Taille XXS", where she mocks miracle cures, she uses irony to question the blind consumption of beauty products.
Rather than rejecting feminine culture, Linders shows how it can serve as a tool for empowerment. Like Lady Diana’s famous "Revenge Dress," her works celebrate women’s freedom and independence, delivering messages of resilience and hope.
