Simone Albers (b. 1990, Nijmegen, NL) is a Dutch artist that works within the fields of painting, sculpture and installation art. She is interested in the more-than-human world and the way we relate to her. Albers’ practice revolves around examining this relationship by looking at underlying philosophical attitudes towards this world and how this is reflected in cultural and, specifically, scientific depictions of nature. Ontoepistimological questions on the nature of reality and the reach of our understanding continue to spark her curiosity. By interweaving philosophy, symbolism, cosmology and scientific insights and images, she puts together alternative representations of the more-than-human world that centralize the complexity of natural systems, rejecting reductionism and appropriation to ultimately challenge the anthropocentric worldview.
Albers studied Fine Art at ArtEZ University of the Arts Arnhem. Her work has been featured in solo presentations at the Valkhof Museum (2017), Kunstenlab (2023), Galerie Maurits van de Laar (2023), and Platform POST (2025), among others. In 2019, her work was nominated for the Royal Award for Modern Painting and in 2022 she won the Sieger White Award, after which her book Myriad Ways of Being ~ Being of Myriad Ways was published by Jap Sam Books.
