About Sander Hupkes
As an artist based in Apeldoorn, I have been inspired by art and culture since I was young. My artistic journey as a painter began in 2012 when I met artist and now good friend Frans Polman. For several years I shared a studio with Frans, where he worked as an artist and I as a graphic designer. During this period I discovered my true passion: painting.
Another great passion of mine is traveling. During my travels I find inspiration in the peace, colors and textures of different landscapes and seascapes. I translate these experiences into my work, where I strive to capture the colors, the natural rhythm and the peace of nature in my paintings.
Since May 2024 I have left my busy life in the marketing world behind me to follow my heart as a full-time visual artist. Are you interested in seeing my work up close? Then visit my studio by making an appointment.

Artist Statement
Look longer, look deeper, look beyond and see more.
In a world that moves fast, my art invites you to slow down. My paintings ask for a moment of pause: to truly look and to see beyond the surface. They are created for those who long to step out of the daily ratrace and reconnect with themselves, their surroundings, and the deeper layers of what is present.
