Femke Hiemstra’s Cabinet of Curiosities Paintings

Femke Hiemstra creates eccentric illustrations of dark tales of sacrifice, war and performance—some inspired by ancient folk tales. Using light acrylic paint and water, Hiemstra adds extra definition to her fantastical work with colored pencils on paper, wooden antiques and old books.
