ABOUT ME

Roeleke is my real name, a rare Dutch name, pronounced as Ru-luh-kuh. 
People call me Roe.

I’ve always been in love with truth. Not the polished kind, but the raw one, the kind that cracks you open, that makes you uncomfortable, that asks you to strip away everything that isn’t really you.

For me, art and truth have always walked together. As a child, I seemed to feel the world more intensely than most. I dreamed in color and symbols, often with my eyes wide open. I saw paintings before they were painted, visited places before I had physically arrived at the spots and I asked questions that didn’t seem to have easy answers:

Who am I?  Why am I here?  What does it mean to live fully awake?

Those questions became my compass. They guided me around the world, through heartbreak, realizations, reinvention, mystical openings, and countless moments of being cracked wide open.

Each time I thought I had arrived, only to realize there was more to peel back, more to surrender, more to create.

I’m Dutch, though I’ve lived in nine different countries, I was born with a caul on my head, something that was once seen as a sign of second sight. Maybe that’s why I’ve always felt the unseen moving with the seen. I’ve never been able to separate the mystical from the ordinary. For me, they are one and the same. 

Aesthetics matter to me deeply, not for surface sake, but because beauty is truth embodied. The way light falls through a window, the quiet strength of a well-chosen word, the courage in a painting that feels alive, these things remind me we are not here to scratch the surface of life, but to dive all the way in.

I am a Manifestor by (Human) design, which means I’m here to initiate, to disrupt, to create what doesn’t exist yet. Creation is my way of breathing. I paint visions that come to me in meditation and dreams. I write to give language to the invisible. I've build experiences and sanctuaries for others who feel called to live more boldly, deeply, and true.

The people who find me are often standing at a crossroad or a new beginning... they are listening to the call. They are intuitive, sensitive, creative ...and tired of fixing, holding back, performing, and dimming down who they are.

They long for depth, expression, and presence that feels like home. My work is not about answers or strategies, but about devotion: listening deeply, offering a mirror and perspectives, and creating a container where they can finally hear and trust themselves again. So to live and create as they are, and give what only they can gift.

I believe life is art, art is life and love is the path. Every choice, every breath, every creation can be infused with love, if we let it. 

And so this is my devotion:

to live in truth,
to create beauty,
to walk with courage,
to become love,
and to invite others into the freedom already waiting, already here.
