Rika Maja Duevel
“Things are Not Always What They Seem”
Medium: Acrylic, Canvas, Wire, Glue
Size: 136w x 138h cm
2021
This piece represents the mind of an introverted artist. Sitting still, but on the inside, there is a combination of structured intensity and an element of control. An exploration into determination and an outlook on all the possible potentials on what lies ahead.
“Be True to Yourself”
Medium: Acrylic, Canvas, Wire,Glue
140w x 212h cm
2021
This piece is connected to the question that women and men are often asked: “When are you having kids” and the emotional response that is connected to this very personal question. The symbols in gold are the Norse Rune for fertility.
“The Internal and External Fight with that Grey Day”
Mixed Media: Acrylic Painting on Canvas, wire, glue, Gorilla Duct Tape
119w x 144h cm
2022
This piece was inspired by a period of rainy Amsterdam days when the sun was a distant memory and the rain felt like daggers flying from the sky. The red poppy shapes are a memory of the poppies that I would ride by on my way to work and a reminder that even when I was lower state of mind the importance of being grateful for each moment I do have.
“The Internal and External” (La interna y externa)
51h x 105w cm
Mixed Media: Acrylic Painting on Canvas, Wire, Glue
2023
This piece was made as part of the Artist Residency @espaciolavadero in Granada, Spain. It depicts the external and internal visual of wanting to share more with someone on the inside vs. what you share on the outside
“What Shape Are You Today?”
54w x70h cm
Mixed Media: Acrylic Painting on Canvas, Wire, Glue
2023
How do we see ourselves? Are we just what we share with the world or do we each have layers that we keep hidden, thinking about the things we keep safe and internal? We can be an organic triangle or a circle, we can reach for others or we can keep some distance. The choice is ours to decide.

Biography
RIKA MAJA DUEVEL
Rika Maja Duevel is a painter and mixed media artist originally from Stavanger, Norway living and working in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. She is a global nomad and this triggers the nucleus of her work. With each new adventure, she finds new inspiration. Her artwork manifests from her daily experiences, the idea of capturing the moment. She allows herself to embrace or let go of each experience by sharing a piece of it with others. Her wish is that the observer might be able to pull their own experience from each piece. As a painter and mixed media artist, she explores the bounderines of what the material can do. She often uses vibrant colors and patterns to document each story. A sketchbook always at her reach, is her portable way of capturing each idea as they come. This process has taken her all over the world and with each destination she
documents a different story, a different moment.
documents a different story, a different moment.
An awarding winning artist, Rika Maja Duevel graduated from Wheaton College, SACI, and Lesley University and then took her art studies and continued her art path around the world. In just the last year she has exhibited in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Rome, Venice, Milan in Italy, Barcelona, Granada, Spain, Paris, France. A recent Guest Artist Lecturer at the University of Amsterdam’s Business School (UVA) where she spoke about being an artist and entrepreneur and published in “50 Artists to Watch 2023 Edition” by the Florence Contemporary Gallery and the “Artists of Today and Tomorrow 3” by Monica Ferrarini.
