Pia Kuykhoven

Pia's vibrant floral still lifes and nostalgic ceramic pieces are rich with memory and rooted in place. The painting and ceramics reference and inspire one another - the two threads of her creative practice in constant conversation. Familiar domestic objects—teacups, platters, vases—appear frequently in her work, not as props, but as vessels of story and connection. Her paintings and ceramics are highly tactile; each piece carries visible evidence of its making. Marks are left intentionally—brushstrokes, impressions, and textures that allow the viewer to read the history of the work.

Bold, bright, and rhythmic, Pia builds her paintings and ceramics through layers of intuitive mark-making. Each piece is shaped by a process of adding and then pruning, mirroring the gestures of gardening. The result is work that speaks to home's comfort, beauty, and quiet drama. Pia invites viewers to see her pieces not just as artworks but as future heirlooms—objects that hold memories.
