Siiri Spronken (b. 1960 in Beek, The Netherlands) grew up in a family of artists. After school, she left to study law in Utrecht, and her student room quickly transformed into a painting studio. In 1979 , she was accepted in the Maastricht Art Academy (NL). Siiri has exhibited extensively in the Netherlands and abroad, alone and with her partner, artist Thomas Junghans. In 2008, her monograph “Making Peace with the Beast” was published where figure of the lion was the main theme of her work until 2018. At that time, she begins a series of paintings called “Corpus”, an abstract expression of an introspective theme – time – which is still in development. “Who Hunts the Spring”, opening in Milan in September, is her first exhibition with Cadogan Gallery.
