Handiedan's Tridimensional Collages Merge Digital and Analog
Handiedan, pseudonym of Hanneke Treffers, is a Dutch contemporary artist known for intricate hybrid works blending digital and analog techniques. Born in 1981 in the Netherlands, she graduated in Photographic Design from the St. Joost Academy of Fine Arts and Design. Now based in Amsterdam, her three-dimensional collages combine vintage pin-up images, baroque ornaments, and period materials such as sheet music, banknotes, stamps, playing cards, and oxidized metals. These elements are assembled through both graphic operations and artisanal interventions, giving her works materiality and sculptural texture. Her dense system of references spans quantum physics, cosmology, numerology, and sacred geometry, bridging past, present, and future.
