Born in Eindhoven, the Netherlands in 1992, Roos owes her love for nature to her family, who introduced her to the diverse landscapes around the world at a very young age.
At the art academy, nature manifested itself in her work through pre-existing natural elements. Her work consists of temporary installations, sculptures, drawings and photographs, which she produces in both natural and urban settings.
In 2019 she received her BA at the art academy AKV|St. Joost in 's-Hertogenbosch. At the Launch exhibition, she presented her thesis ‘Traces of time's passage’, for which she was nominated for the SBK Sprouts Young Talent Award and the SBK-Otto Hetterscheid Stimulation Prize.
After the academy she was one of the participants of ‘Inversie’ Talenthub Brabant, was nominated for the AG-Kunstprijs and has had her first solo exhibition. With various achievements, she continues her practice from her studio in the centre of Eindhoven and works with conviction and enthusiasm with various (international) artists.
Roos Vogels is a visual artist. Her work is a combination of art and an almost scientific research. Nature is the source of inspiration for her. In her work - which consists of installations, sculptures, drawings and photos - she tries to fathom nature.
Transience plays a major role in Vogels work, not only because she uses materials such as branches, leaves and soil. The emphasis in her work shifts from interest for the beginning of the cycle, to the intermediate stage - between the sublime and the dead.
The basis of the art of Vogels is the wonder of nature. With her work she tries to approach nature in different ways to achieve artistic results, like observing transformations in the landscape to experimenting with the growth of plants. Raised by the prospects of our society’s destruction of natural resources, the ‘romantic’ idea of reconciliation with nature takes on a new meaning for Vogels. But it is the urge to fathom nature, this wonder, that she wants to convey to her audience.
