Diversity makes the world colorful!

By Carla Emmink28 april 2025

My entire artistic career (from 1990 to the present) has been devoted primarily to creating drawings, illustrations, and paintings on themes related to the LGBTQ community, partly based on my personal experiences and position as a lesbian, shaped by my upbringing and social developments over the years. I also focus on current themes based on my general social involvement, such as climate change. Gender diversity remains recognizable in this work. I am highly motivated to create my drawings and paintings because I am convinced that visibility serves the interests of the LGBTIQ community. Being visible and, from there, making it possible to discuss these issues strengthens the sense of social safety among LGBTIQ people.
