Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic My personal style signifier is wearing slightly oversized fits.\u00a0That\u2019s why Yohji\u00a0Yamamoto\u2019s collections \u2013 especially menswear \u2013 are my go-to. When I paint, I like to wear something comfortable that I can stain without worrying about it. I\u2019m an introvert by nature, so I\u2019d rather blend in and be the observer when I\u2019m in a crowd.The last things I bought and loved were two Akari lamps, originally designed by Isamu Noguchi in the 1950s \u2013 the Akari 14A floor lamp and the Akari 1A table lamp, to be precise. I\u2019ve been collecting these sculptural pieces, which are crafted from washi paper, for a while now. I love their fragile beauty and the craftsmanship behind them. They really set the mood. I feel they breathe more life into my studio space. They give me a little company.\u00a0Isamu Noguchi Akari 14A lamp, \u00a31,010, Akari\u00a01A lamp, \u00a3305, vitra.comThe thing I couldn\u2019t do without is my rescue dog, Balou. I found him in Greece and he has been by my side for five years now. If I had to pick an object, it would be my Da Vinci paintbrushes. I\u2019m not too precious about them, I barely wash them, but I like them to be soft with round edges for smooth strokes. Da Vinci Top Acryl Series 7485, Size 35, \u00a373, jacksonsart.comAs a child, I loved visiting my grandmother; she lived in a cabin in the\u00a0woodsThe place that means a lot to me is the Amsterdamse Bos, one of the largest city parks in Europe. Whenever I need to slow down, I head into nature with Balou in tow. You\u2019ll often find me there, in the forest, when night falls and there\u2019s no one around. I love the stillness at that time. My eyes have to adjust to the dark, there are animal noises in the background; it makes me relax. In summer my ritual is to swim there in the morning and then have my coffee. Another favourite spot is the Nieuwe Meer, where I love to take an early-morning dip. \u00a0The best souvenir I\u2019ve brought home is a\u00a0traditional kimono from Kyoto. It\u2019s a beautiful reminder of discovering Japan, its culture, interiors, architecture and fashion; I find the \u201cJapanese aesthetic\u201d to be so serene and balanced. My mind is chaotic, so\u00a0I\u2019m always looking to surround myself with elements that bring peace of mind.The best book I\u2019ve read in the past year is Freedom, Love and Action by the Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti. It\u2019s about the mind and consciousness, and is not necessarily the easiest read; one page a day gives me plenty to ponder. I tend to be in my head a lot. Unless I paint, then I\u2019m free. The author lends valuable insights on how to be more present during daily activities. It\u2019s something I\u2019m still working on.\u00a0My style icons are often older women, especially artists. I get a romantic feeling seeing elderly women, strong women who\u00a0know themselves. The first name that\u00a0popped into my head was Louise Bourgeois. It\u2019s more about the way that she\u00a0carried herself. I remember watching a\u00a0documentary about her, and in one scene\u00a0she walks through her studio, sees a\u00a0sculpture that she made and suddenly despises, and then smashes it to the floor.\u00a0The best gift I\u2019ve received is a Cy Twombly art book. I\u2019m awestruck by his Bacchus series. The abstract shapes speak\u00a0to a pure, raw emotion that I can relate to. I first saw the book in Reflex Amsterdam gallery and thought about getting it for ages. The owner, Alexander Dani\u00ebls, eventually gave it to me.I have a collection of masks that I collect from a secret address that, sorry, I\u00a0can\u2019t disclose. A favourite is a Pende Mask\u00a0from Congo with an asymmetrical, somewhat crooked little face that depicts a\u00a0person after a stroke. It\u2019s a sad but important topic.\u00a0Another one I adore is a\u00a0hyena mask from Mali, which was worn\u00a0by boys newly initiated into the Kore,\u00a0one\u00a0of\u00a0the Bambara people\u2019s six initiation societies. These visuals make my\u00a0imagination run wild.The last music I downloaded was Gold\u00a0by\u00a0Cleo Sol. It\u2019s a good mix of different musical genres, from soul to R&B, acid jazz\u00a0and Latin. I love to paint to music. It\u00a0enhances the mood I\u2019m in or it helps me tune into a different one when I need to. I\u2019ve played this record over and over.In my fridge you\u2019ll always find sake. My fridge is a bit of a touchy subject, having become a running gag among my friends and my boyfriend: Peggy\u2019s empty fridge.\u00a0I have recently discovered sudoku, which challenges my brain in a whole new way. I do it every single day. Not on my phone, but\u00a0in the newspaper.An indulgence I would never forgo is a meal at Akitsu three times a week. I love this authentic Japanese restaurant so much. My order is pretty much always the same: shabu shabu, of course with a side of sake, and black sesame ice-cream to finish off.The last item of clothing I added to my\u00a0wardrobe was a men\u2019s vest by Yohji Yamamoto that I bought in London. It\u2019s a\u00a0beautiful black piece with a black pattern woven into it; I wear it like a jacket. It\u2019s unassuming but very special.An object I would never part with is my 1950s Rispal Praying Mantis floor lamp. It re\u00adminds me of my grandmother\u2019s home and\u00a0the radiant warmth she had when she was still alive; it\u2019s inspired me to grasp the same energy in my home. I saved up for it and eventually bought it at WonderWood, a\u00a0vintage furniture shop in Amsterdam.The beauty staple I\u2019m never without is a Byredo lipstick in the colour Earth Dust. I\u00a0pat this natural shade on my lips and cheeks, which gives me a healthy flush.\u00a0Byredo Lipstick in Earth Dust, \u00a345My favourite room in my house is my studio. I spend most of my time here, and particularly so recently in the run-up to my first solo show at Reflex Amsterdam. As soon as I walk over the threshold I\u00a0get into painting mode; my monkey mind switches off and I tap into my emotions. The space is an \u201corganised mess\u201d, full of light.In another life, I would have been a dancer. I trained in both classic and contemporary dance. By the time I was 17, though, I decided to quit. It just wasn\u2019t supposed to be my path, but I still love to dance when I\u2019m by myself. Just like painting, it\u2019s a way to express myself: without words but with lots of grand gestures.The works of art that changed everything for me were by Modigliani and\u00a0Paul Klee. As a child, I loved visiting my\u00a0grandmother, who lived in\u00a0a cabin in the\u00a0woods. That was where I\u00a0first encountered their work. Both left an\u00a0imprint on me; Modigliani was also inspired by African masks, which you can see in the long faces and\u00a0expressions he used. He\u00a0was very introverted, which reflects myself as a person. With Klee, it was the simple shapes and playfulness of imperfection that appealed to me. I worked with different creative mediums such as photography before I started painting. Now\u00a0I do what I love most.My favourite website is Nowness, a video channel that focuses on independent creatives. Their content never ceases to inspire me, in particular the short film that fashion photographer Harley Weir made about artist Jacques Lucas\u2019s monumental hand-sculpted house in France, as well as a seductive horror story by Dutch actor and director Gaite Jansen.To feel inspired, I need relaxation, quiet and maybe to get lost in nature. That way my mind softens, which allows me to paint more intuitively. I don\u2019t believe that talent is enough to get you somewhere; it\u2019s also about putting in the work, the hours. I\u2019m not always inspired, but by putting paint to canvas, new ideas and shapes naturally arise.The podcast I\u2019m listening to is The Great Women Artists by Katy Hessel, a British art historian, writer and curator who wrote The Story of Art Without Men \u2013 a book I also highly recommend. I especially enjoyed the episode with Anna Weyant, a phenomenal talent represented by Gagosian Gallery.My beauty and wellbeing gurus are philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti, spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shanka, and yogi and mystic Sadhguru, who mostly speak on the topics of mental and physical health. I always find their talks very inspirational and love to start my day with them.My favourite building is the Mexico City home of artist Pedro Reyes and his wife Carla Fern\u00e1ndez. I recently watched a documentary about Reyes, and the concrete building and interior, filled with his sculptures, struck me. They\u2019ve built a community with local artists and craftsmen, who all contributed to the house.The best bit of advice I ever received was from my mentor, the late Anthon Beeke,\u00a0who said: \u201cYou should always have a\u00a0tiny rock in your shoe.\u201d It\u2019s a Dutch saying\u00a0that means: get out of your comfort zone and your world expands. My dad always said: \u201cNobody\u2019s waiting for\u00a0you.\u201d That sounds harsh, but it made me work harder. You\u2019re the only one responsible for\u00a0your destiny.\u00a0Peggy Kuiper: The Conversation That Never\u00a0Took Place is at Reflex Amsterdam until\u00a013 July<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
