Sella Molenaar

Style: collage

Technique: mixed media on paper

Sella Molenaar’s practice centers around connection, expressed through her exploration of interpersonal relationships and more loving ways of living together. Over time, art has become a form of self-discovery for her. Each work begins from within, allowing intuition to guide the first gestures and shapes that gradually evolve into layered compositions of organic forms, feminine silhouettes, flowing lines, and natural colors.

About Sella

Using primarily mixed media on paper, Sella’s work begins with figuration that, through the layering of elements, materials and collage gradually evolves into abstract landscapes of paper andpigment, where themes of human connection, inclusivity, and the search for more hopeful futures run throughout.

Her practice is deeply material. With a background in illustration and a deep aﬀection for handmade paper, she works with paint, ink, pencil and collage. Natural pigments such as bister and clay form the basis of her earthy color palette. Rather than relying on pre-mixed colors, she blends pigments, allowing each work to develop its own unique tones and atmosphere.

Guided by intuition

Intuition guides the creative process, first going inward before going outward. Often beginning with a loose sketch, she builds the work through layers, followed by adding paper and cutting the entire image into a collage. No marks are erased; each gesture becomes part of the final work.

Alongside her artistic practice, she hosts creative sessions and programs, drawing on her experience as an artist to help entrepreneurs, businesses, and teams reconnect with their own creative process.
