ABOUT ALIQUE
—
Alique is a dutch photographer, artist, designer and sculptor,
the creative director and founder of Alique Studio.
Having lived in NYC and LA for over a decade, she currently resides in Amsterdam.
Alique’s work is sensuous and expressive, driven by wonder, her Ability to feel deeply
and her love for energy and connections, human and otherwise.
Her art is founded on the ongoing quest into beauty — as a state of being, not (solely) as an aesthetic.
A mode of perception through which recognition, connection and freedom become distinct.
In Alique’s most recent work she takes her quest into beauty to sculpting, using stone, wood and bronze.
Working largely in abstract forms, to her this is not a withdrawal from meaning but a fuller form of it -
a space that resists figuration so that emotions can be encountered more directly.
Throughout Alique’s work - whether it’s photography, painting or sculpting -
there is a shared ethical belief: that feeling precedes form,
that the artist’s task is to observe and remove rather than impose,
and that the deepest connections between artist and subject, between viewer and object,
occur in the unspoken space, where beauty is pure energy and bliss.

“My work is an expression - of my experiences, my values, my wonder.
The world of creating is my freest place of being.
I aim to inspire, to see, feel all things beautiful.” Alique
