About the artist
Daan van der Linden
Daan van der Linden was fascinated by drawing from a young age as a way to visually express his fantasies. This allowed him to create his own world with color and form. Over time, he further developed this talent and used it to assist others and broaden their perspectives. He never understood why some people didn’t consider their village or city as something special. “You are your city, and vice versa, your city is you.” So, what contribution did you make to your ideal environment? Who were you actually waiting for to make your city exactly as you wished? These questions motivated him to share the world as he saw it with those who needed a nudge to discover beauty in everyday things.
“As an Eindhoven oil painter, I want to introduce GLOW visitors to my Eindhoven, both tourists and residents of the city. I want to continuously remind them of the beauty of their living environment. Eindhoven is a city of light, a perpetually beating heart of revolution and resilience. It’s a city of smoking factories and bustling pubs, vibrant stands and festivals. And for those who take the time to pause and observe, it’s also the city of stillness, of observation and seeing.”
