Van Den Berg, Esther: - Esther van den Berg (1982) studied illustration at the art academy in Kampen, where she also grew up.
Her prints are atmospheric, with an eye for detail, often with a wink..
Because of her artisanal education, she is always looking for the right texture and a hand-painted feeling.
Nowadays Esther largely makes her illustrations digitally.
Only eight years after her graduation it started to itch again; she had to start drawing again! Under the name PUIKEPRENT, she tried new things as an illustrator.
After her graduation she left for the Randstad and worked as a designer.
After a good turn, etchings, linocuts, and monotypes appeared on the other side of the printing press.
At the academy, she liked to stand with her fingers in the black ink of one of the printing presses.
