Art in Your Home :: Mirthe Blussé

Art in the home of Mirthe Blussé

A: Art means to me...doing what I love most.

R: Reading books, blogs and magazines...means inspiration. If you ever see someone in a café secretly ripping pages out of a magazine with a pokerface it is probably me..

T: Trends I see in design are...- a growing use of illustration (...but I may be a little biassed here)

A: Artists I admire are.. Hannah Höch, Michel Quarez, Savignac, Steinberg, African sign makers, Hendrik Werkman.

N: Never will I say... never.

D: Dreams for my own work are about... editorial illustrations, children’s books, cookbooks, bookcovers, posters.. And I hope to do some more styling projects..

P: Projects I’m currently working on are...editorial illustrators and –finally- setting up my webshop.

R: Relaxing I do... outside in the sun. Preferably in the outdoor swimmingpool nearby.

I: Interesting art places online are... salon01; wooster collective; grainedit; the selby.

N: New in my home is...a wooden play horse, one of my treasures of the Queen’s Day fleamarket.

T: Tomorrow I like to go to... play with my niece and nephew: the ultimate way to relax and exhaust myself at the same time.

S: Studio, my studio is...my playground.

The Ice-cream above comes from her series Good Food that I really love and hope one day she will open her online shop to sell some of these.
