"Welcome to my realm of delicate beauty and intriguing explorations. I am Joke Raes, a visual artist who translates her creativity into a multitude of disciplines: from drawings and watercolors to sculptures and ceramics. My work weaves a profound journey through themes such as fragility, identity, portraits, masks, slumbers, and affectionate watercolor paintings. Throughout my artistic adventure, I have traversed imaginary landscapes of loving water, delved into revelations and concealments, and been touched by the boundaries between interior and exterior. My art captures emotional states and breathes life into a unique connection between humans and nature. I invite you to explore, discover, and reflect within my world of organic aesthetics and layered significance."
