Painting has been part of Luz’s life
for as long as she can remember.
She followed that passion to an art academy in Paris,
where she learned, experimented,
and began to find her own way of seeing.
She kept painting.
One work became a series.
One series led to another.
A few paintings appeared in small exhibitions.
Most were never shown.
They stayed in her studio,
stacked one behind another, seen by only a few.
Over more than thirty years,
they quietly became an archive of a life spent painting.
Now, for the first time,
these works are coming together and stepping out of the shadows.
Brought to light opens Luz’s hidden collection—a private world,
built over a lifetime, finally made visible.

Luz spent many seasons drawing, sketching & painting in the Amsterdam Zoo, Artis. At first she only had eye for the animals but slowly her focus shifted to the visitors, the crowd encircling the animals. From the Crowd collection (2013).
