Willemijn Rog creates drawings, paintings, and homemade puppets for experimental short films. When she was young, she started as a cartoonist, in which you learn to think in dialogues, characters, different worlds, and how you position yourself as a creator in this. Something she has since incorporated into her work. The topics in her works can vary from her personal life to social themes such as feminism, racism, and discrimination. To portray the grim, unforgiving reality we live in today, she loves to combine familiar things in unexpected ways to create uncanny feelings.  

Willemijn Rog studied Teacher of Fine Arts & Design at the art academy Minerva in Groningen. In 2018, she graduated as a teacher and visual artist after being nominated for the Klaas Dijkstra Academy Prize. Her first book 'Verre Oorden, Lange Vluchten' appeared in 2023, collaborating with the organization Stichting De Vrolijkheid during her artist-in-residence at the Asylum Seekers' Centre (AZC) Drachten.
