The Mental Health Art Tour in the Netherlands aims to make conversations about mental health more accessible and invited Irene to contribute artistically. Inspired by this meaningful initiative, she created soul portraits, a series featuring the life stories of individuals such as Isa Hoes, Dylan Haegens, Thomas Dekker, and Mohamedou Ould Slahi.
Their essence and strength are captured by Irene in vibrant mixed media artworks, offering a glimpse into their souls through a journey of emotion, color and symbolism.
Mental Health Art Tour
As part of a traveling tour across the Netherlands, the soul portraits are exhibited in public spaces, making these stories widely accessible and encouraging open conversations around mental health. Each portrait is paired with an in-depth audio interview, where the individual shares their personal journey.
