CV / Selected exhibitions & publications

Maarten van der Heijden (Amsterdam,1947) is a second-generation Jew who works as a autonomous visual artist in Amsterdam. He had previous careers in baroque music and in childpsychology. After a midlife-crisis he studied from 2005 on at Gerrit Rietveld Art Academy Amsterdam, where he graduated in 2010 with works that reflect his Jewish second-generation identity. In his works Van der Heijden uses the photographs the allied forces took at the liberation of the nazi concentrationcamps in 1945. Van der Heijden gives guest-lessons in dutch schools (Landelijk Steunpunt Gastsprekers WO II-Heden, Kamp Westerbork). From 2015 on he works on the JOMA: a work in progress and a combination of his artworks and the family-stories.
