Based in Voorhout, the Netherlands, Leonoor Ruigrok is a contemporary Dutch artist creating paintings on canvas and paper, alongside material-based and sculptural work. Originally trained in 3D Design at HKU University of the Arts Utrecht. She explores subjects from different angles, experiments with materials and allows the work to change direction as it develops.
Since 2024, she has presented a growing body of new work, translating what she sees and experiences into a visual language of her own.
