Walking, slowing down and watching, form the core of her practice.

In her drawings, she makes this experience tangible: tranquil moments in which nature, time and connection https://www.moya.museum/en/exhibitions/45-sven-verhaeghe-aleida-van-dijk-clear
February - April 2025 Willem Twee Kunstruimte Nature is perhaps the most resilient organ we know. No matter how many changes or disruptions occur, nature always proves capable of recovering. It's a comforting thought that recovery can still occur after major changes.
The exhibition Resilient Nature presents the work of two artists inspired by nature. For Aleida van Dijk, nature has been a safe place since childhood, a place where she can shelter and reflect. Near water, high in the trees, or deep in the mountains, she experiences a sense of security. She walks, slows down, and observes the world around her attentively. She transforms her observations into drawings that are as precise as they are mysterious. https://www.willem-twee.nl
