ErnaKuik
Welcome!
I'm Erna Kuik, a Dutch artist. My work grows out of wonder ~ from looking closely and attentively;
seeing is at the heart of everything I do.
Through linocuts and woodcuts, I explore our relationship with nature, of which we are part, and our connection to one another ~ humans and animals alike.
I encourage a deeper attunement to feeling, both in the outer world and within ourselves, so that we may flourish.

Collector reflections
Reflection
Erna’s work reflects the woman she is, loving, pure, driven and extremely creative
Helma Verhaart, The Netherlands
Love on first sight
The print that I bought from Erna matched exactly with my mood at that moment. It was love at first sight. It won’t take long that I will enter her studio to purchase a second work!
Dunja Blom, The Netherlands
Rembrandt
I hand carried two pieces of Erna back to San Franscisco as though they were Rembrandts from the Rijksmuseum! Subsequently, purchasing ‘Green Thoughts Never Sleep’ online was an absolutely smooth and joyful process!

Piece of my soul
I found a piece of my soul I didn’t know was missing in meeting Erna Kuik at Art Amsterdam Spui. Her work is sublime- at once whimsical and meta, adored by fans of all ages from around the world.

Power
Erna playfully incorporates life-sized themes in her linocuts. Each work of art is a unique item for everyone. An ‘Erna’ on your wall is not just a beautiful drawing with a powerful message. It is also a special memory of meeting an inspiring person.
Jacoba Pylyser, the Netherlands
Relationship
I feel so related to “I think I think too much”. Beyond the fact that I feel the art speaks for my feelings, I am surprised that you can draw those things that I sometimes find a bit ashamed to admit. Thank you for all the beautiful work.

Collaboration
Erna brought two of my songs to life through her artwork in a way I didn’t even know was possible and managed to portray the lyrics and mood so perfectly in these pieces.

Art collection
I have fallen so deeply in love with Erna’s work and I like to consider myself one of her biggest fans. I am slowly but surely becoming a big collector of her art!
Eva Ullmann, Massachusetts USA
Cause and consequense
We have chosen ‘I turn and the world turns with me’ in gold. Not just because this is a beautiful work; we think it fits in the current turbulent time in which the coherence of causes and consequences of our actions is becoming more and more noticeable
Bert Tournois, The Netherlands
Personal dynamics
Erna brings her unique expression of humour, her natural playfulness and a beautiful light hearted sense of wonder to her pieces. Her work really speaks of her personal dynamism and her thoughtful approach to the world.
Beth Forrester, United Kingdom
Passion for nature
Erna Kuik is an exemplar for creative living, whose work adds joy, meaning and inspiration to my life daily!

a true gift

A magic bean
There is sincerity, warmth, love, an embrace and a magical potion of dreams in every piece of her work.
