Aafke is a 26 year old artist from the Netherlands. ''Growing up I was a lot outside: playing in the forest, racing around on an old bike, skateboarding through the neighbourhood or doing sports. The moments I was inside I would sit in silence creating, drawing or writing own made up stories.''

​

In 2022 she retired from being a pro-cyclist. During here career she struggle with an eating disorder. After her retirement she became ambassador for '(W)eet wat je doet'. 

​

Now she focusses mostly on her art:

''Subjects you can find in my art are mainly nature, animals, people. Sometimes I lean more to recreating feelings or thoughts as other moments I love a bit of simplicity and just creating.''
