Belinda de Veer

(Aruba 1960) lived and studied 7 years in the USA where she obtained a Doctor’s degree in pharmacy. She then returned to live and work in Aruba. She has followed classes in visual art, writing and music since childhood. From 1989 till 1993 she followed workshops at “Ateliers 89” given by well-known artists from the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. She now works on her artworks in her Atelier at her house.
Belinda typically combines her visual arts - painting, installations – with writings. Usually short poems in her native language Papiamento. She has often said that in her art “it is not about the painting, it’s about the writing”.
