Adriaan Holsappel (1975) is an visual artist based in the Netherlands.  From 1994 to 2016 he has worked as a graphic designer.

The photographs he makes arose from his feelings and show what intrigues him. His projects and compositions come from his graphic and emotional background. With his creative associations and uninhibition due to his artificially high dopamine production, Holsappel uses his flow to create decades of nightmares into inspiring dreams. In his work, Adriaan hopes that he and the viewer will no longer feel lonely in his thoughts.

In 1991 and 1993 he studied graphic design in Almelo. Where photography was in the curriculum. His work has been exhibited in the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy and England.

His work was published in an issue of focus and pf magazine

Now that everything no longer seems to go smoothly, Adriaan is looking at a different way of publishing work. Work that is too personal for him to exhibit on free media.

In addition, he designs his own posthumous retrospective exhibition. 😉

Update:

Since the mood changed in the Netherlands at the end of 2023 and his experience with the Radboud Artist Intervention Study about how dopamine affects his creativity, Holsappel has been creating more black and white expressive work.
