This publication is published on the occasion of the granting of the Sieger White Award to Simone Albers in 2022 and of her solo exhibition at Maurits van de Laar Gallery, in The Hague, November 2023.

Visual artist Simone Albers (1990, Nijmegen) is fascinated by the cosmos. She investigates the mechanisms hidden behind the directly perceivable world. Albers depicts its complexity in colorful landscapes; with meandering shapes and whirlpools of galaxies and black holes, Albers transports us into a cosmic flow.

 In Myriad Ways of Being ~ Being of Myriad Ways, authors Loes van Beuningen, Susan Peeters, Sabine Winters and Wouter Engelbart illuminate the ways in which Albers makes the invisible cosmos visible and makes connections between everything that lives and is.                 

Simone Albers is the winner of the Sieger White Award 2022, a stipend for talented artists under 35 from the eastern Netherlands.

The Sieger White Award was first awarded in 2012. The award is designated as an encouragement to a young artist aged under 35 from the east of the Netherlands. It consists of the guarantee of a book publication worth €25,000 on the artist’s work, to be accompanied by an exhibition at a leading art gallery – in the west of the country. Book and exhibition are intended to help a gifted painter who has already developed a modest oeuvre of some standing to take the next step in his or her career.
