Philipine Vinke (Dutch : Philipine Vinke, born on 3 November 1968 in Ermelo, Netherlands) is a Dutch artist. Founding member of "The Nunspeet School". [1]
Philipine Vinke was born in 1968 in Ermelo, works and lives in Nunspeet. Vinke uses her innovative technique Bubble Gilding of which first works were created in 2015. [2] Vinke integrates modern materials, such as epoxy, with old techniques as watergilding and "verre églomisé". [3]
Exclusively for Armenia Art Fair 2018 Vinke has produced a "Welcome Pennant" in the colours of the Armenian flag. Welcome Pennants are flown on Dutch flagpoles. They are a welcoming symbol. Dutch Parliament recognized the Armenian genocide in 2018, and Vinke's pennant is both part of this commemoration as well as a celebration of the first Armenian Art Fair. The pennant is part of a series “Welcome Pennants” which Vinke produced in colours of flags. The technique Vinke uses has been developed by herself. The pennant is cast freehand out of epoxy.
Armenia Art Fair is the first time Vinke has been exhibited in Armenia. Earlier in 2018 Vinke exhibited in Dubai, as well as in the Netherlands. On display in the booth of Gallery Duarte will be pieces from her first series of Bubble Gilding, as well as her current series „Art Mirrors“, and „Obsolete Ego’s”. These are made from recycled mirrors. Since a part of their reflective surfaces has been removed, these mirrors represent both the reflective side of humanity as well as its transparency.
Philipine Vinke's artworks can be found in private collections worldwide.
A flag is a piece of fabric with a distinctive design and colours. It is used as a symbol, a signalling device, or for decoration. The term flag is also used to refer to the graphic design employed, and flags have evolved into a general tool for rudimentary signalling and identification, especially in environments where communication is challenging. Many flags fall into groups of similar designs called flag families. The study of flags is known as "vexillology" from the Latin vexillum, meaning "flag" or "banner".
A mirror or looking glass is an object that reflects an image. Light that bounces off a mirror will show an image of whatever is in front of it, when focused through the lens of the eye or a camera. Mirrors reverse the direction of the image in an equal yet opposite angle from which the light shines upon it. This allows the viewer to see themselves or objects behind them, or even objects that are at an angle from them but out of their field of view, such as around a corner. Natural mirrors have existed since prehistoric times, such as the surface of water, but people have been manufacturing mirrors out of a variety of materials for thousands of years, like stone, metals, and glass. In modern mirrors, metals like silver or aluminium are often used due to their high reflectivity, applied as a thin coating on glass because of its naturally smooth and very hard surface.
A world's fair, also known as a universal exhibition or an expo, is a large international exhibition designed to showcase the achievements of nations. These exhibitions vary in character and are held in different parts of the world at a specific site for a period of time, typically between three and six months.
Orange is the colour between yellow and red on the spectrum of visible light. Human eyes perceive orange when observing light with a dominant wavelength between roughly 585 and 620 nanometres. In traditional colour theory, it is a secondary colour of pigments, produced by mixing yellow and red. In the RGB colour model, it is a tertiary colour. It is named after the fruit of the same name.

A carpet is a textile floor covering typically consisting of an upper layer of pile attached to a backing. The pile was traditionally made from wool, but since the 20th century synthetic fibers such as polypropylene, nylon, or polyester have often been used, as these fibers are less expensive than wool. The pile usually consists of twisted tufts that are typically heat-treated to maintain their structure. The term carpet is often used in a similar context to the term rug, but rugs are typically considered to be smaller than a room and not attached to the floor.

Sasanian Glass is the glassware produced between the 3rd and the 7th centuries AD within the limits of the Sasanian Empire of Persia, namely present-day Northern Iraq, Iran and Central Asia. This is a silica-soda-lime glass production characterized by thick glass-blown vessels relatively sober in decoration, avoiding plain colours in favour of transparency and with vessels worked in one piece without over- elaborate amendments. Thus the decoration usually consists of solid and visual motifs from the mould (reliefs), with ribbed and deeply cut facets, although other techniques like trailing and applied motifs were practised.
Zero-waste fashion refers to items of clothing that generate little or no textile waste in their production. It can be considered to be a part of the broader sustainable fashion movement. Zero-waste fashion can be divided into two general approaches. Pre-consumer zero-waste fashion eliminates waste during manufacture. Post-consumer zero-waste fashion generates clothing from post-consumer garments such as second-hand clothing, eliminating waste at what would normally be the end of the product use life of a garment. Zero-waste fashion is not a new concept - early examples of zero-waste or near zero-waste garments include kimono, sari, chiton and many other traditional folk costumes.

Gold ground or gold-ground (adjective) is a term in art history for a style of images with all or most of the background in a solid gold colour. Historically, real gold leaf has normally been used, giving a luxurious appearance. The style has been used in several periods and places, but is especially associated with Byzantine and medieval art in mosaic, illuminated manuscripts and panel paintings, where it was for many centuries the dominant style for some types of images, such as icons. For three-dimensional objects, the term is gilded or gold-plated.
