About Debbie

Debbie Vervoort always had a small voice in the back of her mind saying, "I wish I could paint." In December 2016, she finally decided to listen to that voice and began her artistic journey.

​

After much experimentation, Debbie discovered that painting portraits was her true passion. Her work is distinguished by the selective focus on parts of the face and a playful twist. In 2017, she began with wooden canvases of 20x20 cm. These paintings, known as the Exclamation Mark Series, became her trademark and reached people all over the world. Many buyers often wanted more to decorate their walls, as the paintings look beautiful when grouped together. Debbie created 198 paintings for this series.

​

In 2018, she started painting lips on larger canvases, incorporating metal leaf into her work. This technique gives the paintings a beautiful 3D effect. When the sun or another light source shines on them, it creates a lovely ambiance and brings the paintings to life. These works are part of the CAPS Series.

​

In 2019, Debbie’s eye paintings became a great success. She began searching for original frames in second-hand stores and painted eyes on the glass within the frames. This collection is known as the Eye Framed Series. Although she primarily painted eyes, Debbie occasionally enjoyed creating portraits as well.

​

In 2020, she launched the #-Series, similar to the Exclamation Mark Series, but in a 40x40 cm format on wood.

​

In 2021, Debbie began creating abstract paintings, inspired by the beautiful views from an airplane window. The Nature Treasure Series captures the beauty of landscapes seen from above. Her goal is to recreate that atmosphere on canvas, transporting viewers back to that magical moment in the plane, on their way to a great vacation.

​

Debbie also explored different mediums, combining acrylics with water to create a flow in her paintings. The process is a journey of trial and error until the right composition emerges. These works, known as the Natural Flow Series, are colorful pieces that serve as eye-catching additions to any wall.

​

In 2022, Debbie started the project "We’ve Opened Our Eyes," where she paints the eyes of people who share their stories of becoming aware. This project is still ongoing, and when she has completed 111 eyes, they will be published along with the stories in a book.

​

In 2024, she launched Eye Remember, where she paints irises on pendants. These pendants can also contain ashes, making them cherished keepsakes that can be worn close to the heart.

​

Debbie’s works can be found in private and corporate collections across the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Poland, Greece, Italy, Portugal, England, Switzerland, Romania, Spain, Austria, Georgia, Monaco, Denmark, Taiwan, Israel, the USA, and the UAE.

​

"Painting has a therapeutic effect on me, and music plays a significant role in the creative process. I have found my true passion and it makes me absolutely happy. I hope that my paintings are bringing joy to many people.

​

With love,

Debbie"
