My Caribbean colors!

…We love to paint!

We are Willem de Rooij and Ingeborg Veen and fell in love with the Caribbean and never looked back. We’ve been capturing the magic of the islands through our art.

When we’re not painting, you’ll find us exploring Curaçao’s hidden gems, sipping on a fresh coconut, or chatting with locals who inspire our work. Art isn’t just our job—it’s our way of life, and we’re thrilled to share it with you.

I work with a variety of techniques to bring our visions to life:

  • Drawings: Intricate and detailed, our drawings offer a unique perspective on Caribbean life.

  • Watercolor Paintings: Soft and dreamy, these pieces evoke the gentle spirit of the islands.

  • Oil Paintings: Rich and vibrant, our oil paintings are a testament to the Caribbean's bold beauty.
