Natasja van der Meer, a sculptural artist born in 1969, is an alumnus of the Nieuwe Akademie in Utrecht. Her artistic expression is characterized by the use of diverse materials and the integration of existing objects to form iconic, often humorous images. Childhood and parenthood themes recur in her work, reflecting her fascination with children’s innocence and their perception of the world. Van der Meer’s sculptures, frequently scaled-up versions of smaller objects, play with size to evoke alienation and confusion.
Her recent works involve beads used as three-dimensional pixels to create hanging sculptures, emphasizing precision, simplicity, and clarity without superfluous details. These principles make her art both accessible and aesthetically pleasing. Van der Meer’s creations have been exhibited at notable venues, including the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag and the Singer Museum, and are part of prestigious collections like the Heineken Collection Foundation and Collection De Heus.
