About
Brigitte Spiegeler
Brigitte Spiegeler is a Dutch artist who graduated in fine arts from the Royal Academy of Arts, The Hague (The Netherlands) in 2008. Her work can be seen at international exhibitions in China, Turkey, Germany, Italy, Hungary and France. She has participated in the Venice Biennial in 2017. She uses a variety of techniques, such as photography, painting, ceramic, poetry and installation. Spiegeler’s works are about an imaginary time which only exists in our minds: in her words “a time without a time, vague with some details popping up, the memory is now, right here, but at the same time endlessly far away and intangible”.
She also has a passion for language and her second volume of poetry entitled ‘Plagiarism & Parody’ has been published last year by Uitgeverij In de Knipscheer. The first volume a of poetry entitled ‘The Art of War, languishing poems and other temporary cease fires’ has been published by Uitgeverij In de Knipscheer in 2015. She is now working on a collection of poems on Rembrandt and his work
entitled ‘Without equal’. Her works are in several international collections including the WanQi Art Museum, Dehua, China and various private collections in Germany, Turkey and the Netherlands. Brigitte Spiegeler continues to live and work in Netherlands.
