My Story
Welcome! I'm Stephanie Van Burk, a Swiss-born artist with a deep passion for abstract expression. My artistic journey began with a strong foundation in fashion, having studied at the Marangoni Fashion Institute in Milan and worked as a model. These experiences have deeply influenced my expressive art style. My work, ranging from vibrant abstracts to minimalistic black-and-white pieces, explores themes of duality and emotional depth.
​
As a young woman, I was exposed to diverse cultures and aesthetics through my career as a fashion model. This international experience significantly influenced my artistic vision and approach.
I immersed myself in various fashion styles and color schemes. This exposure not only honed my skills as a model but also fueled my passion for fashion design. To further this passion, I pursued a degree at the prestigious Marangoni Fashion Institute in Milan.
​
After settling in Los Angeles, I seamlessly transitioned into the art world. I established Van Burk Official, my art brand, which blends my fashion background with my love for bold, abstract-expressionist art. My style often features vibrant colors and dynamic compositions, capturing the essence of my eclectic experiences, reflecting environmental themes and advocacy for sustainability.
Back to my home country, my work has evolved to include minimalistic black-and-white compositions as exploring themes of duality, balance, and emotional depth. This shift reflects my ongoing search for simplicity and essence in art. Each piece I create is a reflection of my personal journey and artistic growth.
