Genesis

Genesis presents the earliest body of work by Annika Versloot van der Velden and marks the beginning of Hillywood Art's artistic journey. Bringing together portraits inspired by the Dutch Golden Age, the Old Masters, fairy tales, and the beauty of the natural world, the series reveals the foundations of a distinctive visual language that continues to evolve.

Influenced by the richness of seventeenth-century painting, classical portraiture, and timeless storytelling, these works reinterpret historical aesthetics through a contemporary lens. Light, texture, symbolism, and carefully composed details create images that feel both familiar and unexpected.

Although diverse in subject, the collection is united by a fascination with beauty, atmosphere, and narrative. Genesis offers an insight into the origins of an artistic practice where history, imagination, and nature converge to create contemporary works with a timeless character.
