Description +-
All of Heijwegen's paintings are self-portraits; so they act as a depiction of mental health from the source of the artist's mind directly. Heijwegen accompanies this piece with text describing the positive outcomes from experiencing mental health issues: "Clutter in your head can be so beautiful. It gave me different perspectives on how I look at everything in life. It makes me creative and lets me talk through my hands and the brush."

Mariken Heijwegen
"All my work comes from unknown places in my head" -Mariken HeijwegenMariken Heijwegen began a career in fashion, studying it in the Netherlands, but transferred their skills into the fine art world. Creating works that act as a depiction of the inner mind, Heijwegen seeks to teach students to reach their own feelings through artistic creation. The artist creates self-portraits as a translations of their own mental health journey. During a dark and mentally tough experience, Heijwegen produced a self-portrait every day to reflect the feelings that emerged from panic attacks, fear, anxiety and insecurities. They argue that the painting of these visuals is what saved their mental health; allowing for a solution of acceptance and understanding. With the aim to normalise discussions on mental health, Heijwegen sees strength in vulnerability and important visibility within chaos.
