Maaike Canne is a Rotterdam-based (NL) illustrator and visual artist. Inspired by architecture, design, and nature, she creates vibrant, yet serene compositions that offer a new perspective on everyday scenes. Her work often feels slightly nostalgic and has a cinematic charm. As if something just happened and we’re only left with this frozen composition to start imagining.
Working with media ranging from gouache to digital drawing, she works across editorial, murals, and autonomous paintings. Her bold yet harmonious colour-driven work explores the interplay between interior and exterior spaces, balancing abstraction and representation.
