JETTA VAN HEMERT
Jetta van Hemert is an artist whose work explores the intersections of consciousness, embodiment, and the unseen emotional landscapes that shape human experience. With a background in both the somatic and expressive arts, her creative process bridges inner sensation and visual form, translating subtle feeling states into layered, evocative imagery. Her piece Sailing Through Parallel Universes continues this exploration—an invitation to journey through the multiplicity of perception and the fluidity of being.
Drawing inspiration from dreamscapes, nature, and the shifting boundaries between the internal and external world, Jetta’s work often hovers between abstraction and narrative. She uses color, movement, and symbolic imagery to trace the ways memory and emotion inhabit the body. Each piece becomes both a mirror and a map—reflecting the psyche while guiding viewers toward their own intuitive terrains.
Before turning fully to visual art, Jetta devoted much of her life to the study and practice of the Rosen Method, a body-based approach that honors the dialogue between physical presence and emotional truth. This deep attention to inner experience profoundly informs her artmaking. Her process begins not with a concept, but with a felt sense—an image that emerges from quiet attention, from the same space where breath and awareness meet. In this way, her paintings are less constructed than revealed.
Mirrors of the Mind resonates deeply with Jetta’s artistic vision. She sees art as a form of reflection and resonance—a way of perceiving the shared, parallel universes that exist within each of us. Through her work, she hopes to invite viewers into a contemplative state, where the boundaries between self and world soften, and something new can be glimpsed in the in-between.
Jetta’s artwork has been shaped by a lifelong curiosity about transformation, belonging, and the ways we navigate multiplicity—within ourselves, our relationships, and our environments. Whether through paint, collage, or mixed media, she continues to explore how inner movement can find outer expression, and how art can serve as both witness and companion in the unfolding of awareness.
