Femke Muntz creates mixed media portraits of melancholic females, and scenes of playful animals. Incorporating flowers and other natural elements alongside  her pieces with quirky ladies, her prints offer a solemn sort of charm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Layering in themes of personal growth, she explores the feeling of sadness. Explaining that women tend to hide their feelings, she says her characters are her way of \u201cexpressing that sadness and hurt are a part of life and that we need to accept it to feel true happiness\u201d. This moody energy can be seen in their faces, along with the use of muted colors and cloudy backgrounds. She also showcases sensitive animals, with their own sense of stoicism and subtle smiles. The honest emotions throughout her work bring a sense of relatability with a touch of magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From cats reading books on happiness to a woman gazing at a butterfly to a gal blooming florals out of her head, her prints radiate a cautious optimism. Whether you want to check out a coffee cup full of greenery and birdhouses, watch a woman protecting the Earth from dark clouds, or admire an owl with bountiful bouquets, we think her artwork can be a lovely way to add playful and expressive vibes to your space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
