ATELIER MANOS – A STORY OF HANDS

Atelier Manos is the unexpected encounter of diverse cultural energies with the minimalist essence of Dutch design. Uncanny, yet authentic. A hybrid space where artists, designers, and craftsmen from different worlds meet—blending disciplines, cultures, and stories. A warm, uninhibited handshake between contrasts.

LIVE ATELIER – TIMOTHY VAN OORSCHOT

At the heart of Atelier Manos lives the working studio of Dutch artist Timothy Van Oorschot. Visitors are invited to witness his creative process live, where the act of painting becomes a ritual—a direct expression of memory, identity, and material.

Timothy’s recent works, rooted in deep earth tones and natural pigments, reflect a return to origins. Each piece channels personal memories and larger questions of self, asking: “Who are we?” Through his hands, the earth itself becomes art.

GALLERY

Alongside the work of Timothy Van Oorschot, Atelier Manos hosts a rotating pop-up gallery featuring a curated selection of international artists, designers, and craftsmen. Set within 800m² of natural light, the gallery highlights cultural expressions, handcrafted art, blending tradition and innovation into a cohesive, sensory experience.

The current exhibition, Unveiled Nature, is an immersive exploration of natural materials transformed into contemporary art and design. It reveals nature’s hidden voice through raw textures, organic forms, and cultural memory—organized around three themes:

  • Material – Celebrating the journey of natural elements from earth to form

  • Human Connection – Emphasizing the artist’s hand and intention

  • Tradition – Weaving ancestral techniques into modern interpretations

Unveiled Nature honors the timeless relationship between maker and material, process and poetry, the shaped and the enduring.
