The event, which is now at its 6th edition,  confirms itself as one of the most important events in Contemporary European art.
 

Bikkel exhibit with two oilpaintings: Curacao Mother and Child.

BIKKEL’s work comes straight from the heart. It is a direct, artistic reaction to things in her personal life that touch her deeply. Especially the fate of women, issues touching upon her island of birth, Curaçao, and the ups and downs of the ones she loves. In other words, things really close to her. It is an art that emphasizes the personal whereabouts of the artist BIKKEL, and everything that touches her deeply in her unique, colorful, and sometimes tragic life. In that sense, BIKKEL is an artistic witness of her own life and of the people that ‘get under her skin’ because of the unfairness of their fate. Perhaps she recognizes in these people an undeserved suffering that does not put one down, but actually sets a vital lust for life on fire, as if she wants to say: “Look, here I stand before you: naked, imperfect, vulnerable, but full of life!”
