The name Hamaka, meaning Hammock, was the name of Roselind’s family jungle retreat in the Surinamese rainforest.

A glorified Pina hut (a wooden structured hut, with palm leaf roof) in the savanna planes on the edge of the dense rainforest.

​

A romantic dream that came into fruition in the late 70’s, but due to the 1980 coup it was a very short-lived dream.

 

Roselind’s creative process is a search for a sense of belonging that has a subconscious connection to her birthplace in Paramaribo, Suriname. Visual interpretations of expressions and meanings that either get highlighted or lost in translation.

​

She starts with big sketches and zooms in on the little areas that have many nuances and varying strengths.

​

She explores various media, to be able to translate a colourful abstract and energetic visual balance.

Each work is a sister, brother, father, mother or friend of the last one.

​

Her work is a visual multi-cultural language.
