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. 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 is the real?
Those questions became my compass. They guided me around the world, through realizations, dark nights, mystical experiences and many disolutioning ego deaths. Each time I thought I had arrived, only to realize there was more to see through, more to surrender, more to create.
I’m Dutch, though I’ve lived in nine different countries. I am a Manifestor by (Human) design, which means I’m here to initiate and to create what doesn’t exist yet. I paint visions that come to me in meditation and dreams. I write to give language to the invisible. I am building 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 new perspectives, and creating a container where they can 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.
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.
