Thijs Segers
Central themes in the paintings of Thijs Segers (Lieshout, NL, 1996) are the beauty and mystery of decay and transience, in combination with the search for something everlasting, the search for a home.
His work has been exhibited throughout the Netherlands, including at the Noordbrabants Museum, the Vincent van Goghhuis and Museum Villa Mondriaan. In 2020 he received the HeArtfund-stipend and in 2025 he is financially supported by the Mondriaan Fund. In 2021, 2024 and 2025 he was nominated for the Royal award for modern Painting.
Artist statement
My work is an intimate embrace with transience. I envelop subjects close to myself like my dog Butske or abandoned scenes in and around my home in a wistful cloak, without suffocating them with my fear for the world. Drawing mostly on nature, I try to look for a way to accept decay. The paintings exist just before the lightest light and the darkest dark, at the in-between-place of earth and the world of thought.
