Stay tuned for updates as I work on my first curated collection, Grounded Reflections: a series where I explore our inner landscapes, the hidden yet ever-present layers within ourselves, shaped by our experiences, memories, and emotions. My website will be launching once my collection is complete. You can follow me on Instagram @savitahartsteen, where I share more of my work and process, including in the ‘Studio Moments’ highlight. Meanwhile, here’s a bit more about my story:

After earning my bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts & Design in Education from the Academy of Arts, I spent many years working in the pedagogical and educational fields, teaching others to explore their own creativity. I even had the joy of teaching art classes from my own home. However, somewhere along the way, my personal passion for creating art took a backseat and my creative drive went into hibernation.

Years later, the pull to create art reawakened in me and I realized just how much joy and fulfillment it brings to my life. This rediscovery has led me to fully embrace my path as an artist, and today I’m thrilled to have my own studio in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, where I can spend my days painting and living my purpose.

My work is deeply rooted in observation, of both the natural world and the quiet, internal shifts we experience as humans. I find inspiration in textures shaped by time, in landscapes that hold stories, and in the unseen layers within ourselves. Walking through nature with my dog, I notice how elements soften and transform, a process that mirrors the subtle, often unnoticed changes within us.

Through my art, I explore these transitions, creating pieces that invite stillness and quiet reflection. My work offers a gentle pause, a moment to connect with what is felt but not always seen.
