Martine Jacobs, born in 1956 Amsterdam, is a well-known pastel artist who specializes in creating colorful pastel drawings. Her work is characterized by vibrant colors and the soft, dreamy quality that pastel media offer.
This is a print colored with pastel pencils.
The work was designed and colored by Martine Jacobs.
By colouring the prints herself, Martine can add her own style, feeling and emotion to the work. This makes each print unique and authentic.
Martine Jacobs has combined the traditional, recognizable figures of Jip and Janneke with the elegant and minimalist art form of Japanese origami, a special artistic vision. This combination not only offers a new interpretation of two cultural icons, but also emphasizes the universal appeal of simplicity and form.
Translating this concept into pastel chalk creates a harmonious balance between the sharp, geometric lines of origami and the soft, flowing textures and pastel colours.
The playfulness of Jip and Janneke is thus enriched with a worldly and modern touch.
This type of work not only brings aesthetic pleasure, but also makes the viewer think about how art can bring together elements from different cultures and tell a new story.
