about me

My name is Rosa van de Vooren, and I am a sculptor. Over the past years, my work has focused on themes such as male faces, fish, and female forms. I work with diverse materials, including wood, glassfiber, alabaster, soapstone, and serpentine, which offer a wide range of colors, textures, and depth to enrich my sculptures.

My work has been acquired by several private and public collections.

A bit about me

Born in Friesland/The Netherlands in 1972 but grew up on the west coast of Norway where my parents restored old wooden sailing ships. In 1987 my family and I moved to Tenerife/Spain where studied at Art School majoring in Advertising and Graphic design. In 2000 I moved to Amsterdam/The Netherlands where I got back to my artistic beginning and worked as a Prop-maker, Set dresser and Special effects designer for several movies, TV series and commercials. In 2003 I settled down in Oporto/Portugal permanently and opened up my atelier where I presently work as a sculptor.
