Die niederländische Naturkünstlerin Hilde Trip (*1980) lässt den Betrachter die Natur in neuen Zusammenhängen erleben. Ihre Grundmaterialien - Pusteblumen, Blätter, Federn, oder Samen - sammelt sie während den einzelnen Jahreszeiten selbst.
 
Das Angebot von Flora und Fauna wird zu meist organisch geformten Kunstobjekten oder ganzen Rauminstallationen. Hilde Trip folgt einer genauen Struktur und „re-organisiert“ die Natur. Sie fängt deren Schönheit, Verletzlichkeit und Vergänglichkeit ein und konserviert sie in einem beständigem Kunstwerk. Die Natur inspiriert und fordert sie mit ihrem mannigfaltigen Angebot permanent heraus und bietet ihr einen umfangreichen Fundus für ihre Kreationen, welche sie auch immer weiterentwickelt.
 
Nach ihrem Abschluss an der Niederländischen Floral Master Academy verbrachte sie Zeit in New York und Japan, um internationale Erfahrung und Inspiration zu sammeln und entschloss sich schließlich für eine Karriere als bildende Künstlerin. Sie lebt und arbeitet in Emmen, NL und wird von internationalen Galerien vertreten.

Hilde Trip: A Clear Vision
2025, white peacock feathers, wood, museum glass
40 × 28½ × 1½ in
 
In her white peacock feather works, Hilde Trip engages with one of nature’s rarest and most ethereal materials. Unlike the jewel-toned splendour of traditional peacock plumage, the white feather carries a quieter, almost otherworldly presence—long associated with purity, transformation, and the mystical. Across cultures and centuries, from myth to sacred art, the peacock has symbolized immortality and renewal. In its white form, these associations are distilled into a luminous fragility.Trip collects and re-arranges the feathers into sculptural compositions that emphasize their shimmering translucence, delicate structure, and fleeting perfection. By preserving and reframing them, she situates the white peacock feather within both art history and contemporary practice—as a material that speaks not only of splendour, but of vulnerability, stillness, and the search for transcendence.By preserving and reframing each feather, Trip echoes art history while pushing beyond it, showing how natural forms can still astonish in contemporary art. Her work situates the feather not only as a decorative motif but as a living material—one that speaks of vulnerability, transformation, and the tension between splendour and impermanence.
 
The Dutch nature artist Hilde Trip (b. 1980) invites us to experience the natural world in a new balance of order and wonder. Her chosen materials—dandelions, leaves, feathers, and seeds—are collected by hand in rhythm with the seasons. Through a precise process of “re-organization,” she reshapes nature into sculptural objects and immersive installations, where beauty, fragility, and impermanence are held in delicate equilibrium.Trip’s work is both meditative and rigorous: a dialogue between nature’s organic abundance and the artist’s exacting structures. What should scatter, dissolve, or decay is instead stilled, reimagined, and given permanence.
 
A graduate of the Dutch Floral Master Academy, Trip refined her vision through time in New York and Japan, before dedicating herself fully to a career as a visual artist. She lives and works in Emmen, the Netherlands, and her work is represented by international galleries.A video portrait of the artist, produced by Schlieder Contemporary, can be viewed on her artist page.
