Joke Boudens
A Flemish illustrator, calligraphy artist and teacher, Joke Boudens is known for her impeccable lettering combined with delightful illustrations.

Combining illustrations and lettering, her art is largely inspired by nature. She loves folk art, typography and working in sketchbooks.

Works for Symbiosis III: The Auction
ARTIST | Leesette Turner
BASED IN | South Africa
TITLE | Dreams & Stars
SIZE | 175 x 569 mm
In the realm where dreams and stars onverge, this piece explores the ethereal connection between the boundless wonders of the sky and the mysterious landscapes of our subconscious minds.
Like celestial bodies suspended in the vast expanse of space, dreams embody a sense of infinite possibility. In this piece, Leesette invites viewers to embark on a visual journey that blurs the boundaries between the tangible and the intangible, the earthly and the cosmic. An invitation to a dreamscape where imagination takes flight.
Each brushstroke is a whispered wish, a fragment of a reverie, suspended in the cosmic dance. I aim to evoke a sense of wonder and introspection, encouraging viewers to reflect on the profound interconnectivity of the universe and our innermost thoughts. The merging of dreams and stars becomes a metaphor for the universal human experience, where aspirations become constellations lighting our path through the vast unknown.

TITLE | Essence
SIZE | 347 x 770 mm
The piece is inspired by poem by Anton Coetzer: “Once the deep satisfying overpowering essence of love envelopes a soul, no other worthless and temporal insignificance can comfort in any manner”. This poem is about finding the heart’s desire, holding on to it and not trading what makes you happy for anything else. Leesette wanted to capture the emotion, light, movement and colour of love. A love as wide and as deep as the sky.

Leaves don´t fall, they let go
starting a wonderful dance of letting themselves go
They let go in a gesture of generosity, deep wisdom
they are thrown into the air void
deep heartbeat of life
generous matrix that will house the bud of a new leaf
wind symphony
song of freedom
remains invisibly united to the breeze of its own surrender & freedom
creativity in spring

TITLE | Black the Queen of Colour
SIZE | 547 x 122 mm
“I’ve been 40 years discovering that the queen of all colors was black,” said Pierre-Auguste Renoir. This piece explores this comment by Renoir and the hidden talents of black, its nuances and versatility, through its shades, fine detail, and focal point. Black is elegant, fashionable, sad, bold, and the absorption of visible light.
