Noëlle van der Hagen

Miles Davis: “Don’t play what’s there, play what’s not there”

Amazement is the core of Noëlle's work. Amazement of the viewer about constantly rediscovering what you see: "is this textile?"
Temptation to touch it, to feel it. Light, color and shine characterize her work. She paints with fabric and works with shiny, transparent organza, fabrics with bright colors and shiny yarn. Sometimes 2D, then again light objects in 3D.
She is constantly experimenting with other possibilities of the material and new techniques, discovering what is possible.

This ultimately results in lightness, openness, color and transparency. Power, movement, rhythm and freedom. A dialogue between color and form, abstract but sometimes also realistic. Her work evokes curiosity, but it is also fun and surprising. It is hard to catch.

What makes her happy is being creative with head, heart and hands, preferably with jazz music in the background.

During her career in business as a communication trainer and coach she started textile art education. She completed this with a Master Textile Art in the spring of 2019. Since the beginning of 2019 she has been working full-time as a visual artist.
