AMADI

"The calm that arrives when dreaming and living become the same thing."

Amadi — Igbo for peace, inner stillness. A name given to those who carry quiet strength. This work embodies exactly that: a face that asks nothing, yet stays with you.

AMADI is a large-scale naive portrait — raw, direct, and impossible to ignore.

Hanneke van de Pol is a Dutch multidisciplinary artist and concept designer based in Arnhem. Her Naive Faces series draws on her earliest portrait drawings, remastered with over 30 years of artistic and design experience. Her work has been shown at Studio Des Bouvrie / Het Arsenaal in Naarden and selected design fairs across the Netherlands. Each work is made with love and created for those who still dream, dare to play, and wonder.

At 100 × 150 cm, AMADI commands a wall. Not decoratively, but presently. This is not art that fills a space. It is art that defines one.
