For me, beauty is the basis of everything that is. And I am driven by ideas, image development and innovations in the constant change of our world and how we perceive it. My art is about creating an experience, with a building, its surroundings and with its visitors or residents.
Illusion and reality
In the history of Western painting, I was mainly inspired by Renaissance painting and the abstract painting of the early twentieth century. Renaissance painting depicts a creative illusion of reality, as a window to reality. Modern early twentieth century painting completely abstracts visual reality through a construction of lines, shapes and colours. Both Michelangelo and Mondrian are a source of inspiration in my artistic journey. I wonder what the limit is and I play with the idea that the world is an illusion as in a painting or that the painting is reality.
Bring unique expression to your home or office with an original work of art,
a combination of creativity and craftsmanship, specially created to bring your interior to life.
Digital paintings
The search for new means to experiment with spatial expressions allowed me to leave paint and brush behind during my studies and paint with virtual means instead. My paintings are printed at very high resolution and finished with high-quality materials. I have developed several series, both abstract and figurative,
Wall filling
My wall filling paintings show you new relationships between the illusion in the painting and physical space. I create unexpected but natural transitions between the real space and the painting so that both are experienced as one whole and an intriguing spatial effect can arise that makes the experience of the original space fade away. Multiple wall filling works in a room, the floor and the ceiling can enhance the spatial effect. And it can go even further… objects in the room such as curtains, furniture and lampshades are provided with integrated surface design. Some examples: wall filling paintings
Lisette’s works are produced on demand in high quality prints and execution, as unique pieces or in limited editions of 3 or 9. You choose the desired size and the material with which the print is produced as your digital painting.
Commissioned work and cooperations
Besides my free work, I also create art design on personal request and -if desired- in cooperation with my client, fellow designers, manufacturers and/or architects. All of us in a partnership in which we create concepts together that strengthen each other. As designers develop products and architects create constructions, I can make your surface art design. For example for walls, tiles and wood, curtains and blinds, furniture, etc.
An art assignment we make together. The creative process is a journey together with the client in which we explore and inspire each other. I strive to translate the ideas and wishes of the clients into a design that represents what they have in mind in a surprising way.
Are you curious or do you have an idea, feel free to visit my studio in The Hague. Or I would like to come to the place in mind to think along / advise on possibilities for a possible artwork. Without obligation.
New! 3D printed jewelry
For over a year now I have also been designing necklaces with matching earrings, which I 3D print in my studio and hand-process into jewelry. Many necklaces contain crystals.
Each piece of jewelry is unique, hand-processed with an organic structure. In addition, each necklace is designed with a customized shape for a specific crystal stone. The geometric designs and the natural beauty of the crystals mean that they are not only aesthetic, but also carry a deeper meaning and have a healing effect.
Which crystal stone suits you best / can help you best?
By means of pendulum I can find out which crystal suits you best for a specific purpose. For example for your health, self-confidence, strength, balance/peace or another reason. Make an appointment if you are interested. This takes 15-30 minutes, costs 30 euros. Free with the purchase of a piece of jewelry.
The material of the printed design is painted and varnished PLA. Other materials used are of course such as beads of wood, Murano glass and ceramics. Necklace cords are usually made of leather. The closing material is made of hyperallergenic stainless steel. Gold and silver as cord and closing material on request. I also make jewelry based on your personal wishes.
Soon for sale online via Etsy. For first choice and an overview of all jewelry, let me surprise you in my studio in The Hague. No obligation to buy! Call for an appointment 06 51582810.
Lectures
More and more regularly I am allowed to talk about the background of my work in my studio or on location. During these lectures I take you into my world of thought / interior space from which the works of art arise and I show all kinds of paintings, 3D animations, surface designs on objects and 3D prints.
Workshops surface design / 3D printed jewelry
On request I give creative surface design workshops for groups of people who want to do a fun activity together and to bring out their creativity.
Workshop surface design: after an introduction to surface design, during the workshop that lasts half a day you make an art design that is printed on a utensil of your choice, such as a mug, bag or pillowcase. We discuss in advance whether everyone’s design will become part of one joint design or whether everyone’s own design will be printed on the chosen product. After this creative workshop that lasts about three hours you will receive your ready-made product at home.
Workshop making jewelry: this workshop is divided into two sessions of approximately 3 hours. During the first meeting you will get an overview of the process of making a 3D printed piece of jewelry and you will design your own piece of jewelry. During the second meeting your design is printed in 3D and you will edit it into a wearable piece of jewelry that you can take home.
I offer space for groups of 8 to 12 people in my studio, larger groups at an external location.

Prof. Dr. Johan Sebastiaan Ploem – microscopist and digital artist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johan_Sebastiaan_Ploem): “Lisette Huizenga, a Dutch digital painter, designed a painting of an entire digital house. She exposed her art at the Biennale in Venice, titled ‘Deconstructing – Reconstructing Mondriaan’. With her art work she showed an interesting vision on the future possibilities of modern digital art (from the publication ‘Transformational digital art’ by J.S. Ploem, ….). After her study ‘digital painting’ at The Academy of Visual Arts in The Hague (2015), Lisette Huizenga became one of the best digital artists of the Netherlands. Her digital signature is quite unique and opens numerous new possibilities in the art of painting.”
”Peter Bommeljé, hotelier and entrepreneur: “Lisette’s work is abstract but with a lot of depth and especially the three-dimensional of her art is distinctive. The depth in her work and the details attract attention every time. I appreciate our fine cooperation, in which Lisette listened carefully to our wishes, studied the situation on site and then handled the implementation in great detail.”
Ankie Schellekens, managing director Venice Planner: “I’m very charmed by Lisette’s ‘wall art’. She has the ability to transform a room with her digital art. You imagine being in a fairytale like landscape somewhere out in the open air with a beautiful sea view or in a paradise garden, whilst in reality you are in a stuffy basement or boring meeting room. I see the possibilities of countless applications in the private sphere (houses) as well as in commercial environments (hotels, sports halls and retail areas) and public spaces (hospitals and schools). In my opinion, the possibilities are endless….”
