ABOUT
Merel Feenstra is a Dutch contemporary oil painter, known for her nature-inspired artworks full of atmosphere, light and emotion. From her studios in the Netherlands and Spain, she creates expressive paintings that capture fleeting moments, from glowing landscapes to soulful (floral) portraits.
​
Before fully dedicating herself to painting, Merel worked for over 15 years as a professional event manager, organizing major events for clients such as Shell, Rabobank, and the Dutch Central Bank. In 2018, she returned to her creative roots and trained for four years at the Classical Academy of Fine Arts in Groningen, developing her signature style: modern impressionism with a soulful, painterly style.
​
Merel offers a collection of original paintings, hand painted vases and custom-made artwork created on request. She also leads painting retreats in Spain, where creativity and nature come together in a relaxed and inspiring setting. Whether you're looking for a unique piece of art for your home, a meaningful gift, or a creative experience abroad, you're in the right place!
