The work of Janine van Oene revolves around the painting process. Van Oene sets the tranquil world in motion with the action of her lines. For her composition, she lets herself be guided by the paint and the surface on which it’s painted, in this case falling back on the cottagecore aesthetic.

Cottagecore is a style that draws from romanticised European or British rural life – a celebration of traditional countryside clothing, cosy interiors and handicrafts. Van Oene’s work is open for interpretation, but what’s clear is that she creates an atmosphere of comfort and nostalgia that can be associated with cottagecore.
