Dutch-based artist Cil Laurens creates detailed works on wood
with beautiful lines by working with millimeter thin ink pens.
This way she fills her illustrations with graphic patterns.
In her work, Cil Laurens portrays mysterious women, mainly with
their eyes closed or covered. She playes with the characteristic
of people to feel and experience and listen in a pure way to their
inner self.
„Her work is a heady mix of feminine, dark, intriguing and
alluring. While her style is precise and to the point, illustrator
Cil Laurens loves duality; she ever embraces the two sides
to every story. She worked on an art commission for “H&M’s
Conscious Line”, she studied Graphic Design at the School for
Fine Arts in Kampen and a little later photography at the Roy-
al Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague. Both have led her to
create whimsical yet clear representations of her elusive world.
