RakeStreken is a collaboration between Sanne Knoester and Paul Boswijk. In 2012, they began making weekly drawings together. These drawings evolved into paintings, which grew larger and more abstract as they continually experimented with new ideas and directions. One night, while reflecting on a painting, the name RakeStreken was born. For them, it perfectly encapsulated the search for “the right stroke” that defines a painting.
By 2016, they had developed a deep passion for calligraphy, which now significantly influences their work on paper, canvas, and walls. Interestingly, the name RakeStreken took on even more meaning, highlighting the precision of the few brushstrokes that form each letter.
