Maaike Canne is a Rotterdam-based illustrator and visual artist. Inspired by architecture, design, and nature, she creates bold, vibrant, yet serene compositions that offer a new perspective on everyday scenes. Her work is influenced by Japanese woodblock prints in its use of composition and perspective, emphasizing plane arrangement, rhythm, pattern, and the interplay of flat areas of colour. Her practice spans editorial and commercial illustrations, murals, and independent projects.
