Stella de Kort (b. Amsterdam, 1987) studied at Gerrit Rietveldt Art Academy in Amsterdam. She was nominated for the Strabag Artaward in Vienna 2016 and won the Fiep Westendorp Incentives Awards prize in 2015. Her work is published in many papers and magazines and preserved by several collectors such as Museum Lam in Lisse (Netherlands.)

Stella de Kort is the definitive drawing artist (pur sang.) Her modus operandi is detailed chaos and the attempt to get a grip on it. It is in the jumble of things in which she creates a new and unique kind of order, in which she is not concerned with perspective, looking for the right composition or tessellation, but rather for an unexpected image: intuitively, she works towards a form as yet unknown to her.

Stella de Kort's work concentrates mainly on the detail. The whole that gradually emerges thus becomes an accidental form. It is within the framework of the paper that can help determine this form, and this leads her to push this boundary and look beyond. Stella de Kort uses multiple media such as two-dimensional, installation, animation and pop-ups, and sometimes in combination with each other.
