Bierenbroodspot, born in Amsterdam, first honed her artistic skills under the tutelage of her illustrious uncle, Leo Gestel, a prominent figure in the Dutch modernist movement. She further pursued her studies at the prestigious National Academy of Art in Amsterdam. Drawing inspiration from archaeological realms, Bierenbroodspot weaves her paintings, sculptures, and wall-rubbings, infused with her unique and deeply personal take on modernity – both thematically and stylistically. In a manner reminiscent of the great painters of the Golden Age, she spends a quarter of every year traversing the awe-inspiring archaeological trails of the Middle East. Throughout her life, Bierenbroodspot has resided and created among the remnants of three renowned Caravan Cities: Petra, Palmyra, and Baalbeck. A multifaceted artist in her own right, Gerti Bierenbroodspot is widely recognized as a prominent figure in the Dutch art scene, excelling in the mediums of painting, sculpture, writing, and poetry.
