Margaret Lansink's work invites a contemplative way of looking, where stillness creates space for reflection and transformation. The Dutch artist explores how earlier states continue to shape what follows, examining how landscapes, memories, and our sense of self evolve over time, and the traces these transformations leave behind. Through her practice, Lansink embraces change as an essential aspect of becoming.
Working across photography and mixed media, Lansink investigates how images can hold multiple layers of experience and meaning. Throughout her career, she has employed a range of analogue and experimental processes, including platinum-palladium and Liquid Light printing. In recent years, she has expanded her practice through analogue collage and the application of plant-based acrylic paint to her own photographic imagery, creating tactile works that exist between photography and painting.
Margaret Lansink has exhibited internationally throughout Europe and the United States, including at leading art fairs and institutional venues. She is the recipient of the Hariban Award (2019), the Best Dutch Book Design Award (2019) for The Kindness of One, and the Fedrigoni Top Award (2025) for Unbound.
Her work is held in both private and public collections, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the collection of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Lansink lives and works in the Netherlands.
