STORIES WOVEN
IN TIME
tiny atelier is a creative space where colour, memory, and emotion meet. Where stories take shape. Founded by Arlette van Cleeff, the studio transforms quiet moments and subtle feelings into intimate works of art.
Blending abstraction and recognisable form, each piece opens space for reflection, connection, and your own story to emerge. Small in size, warm in emotion, and layered with meaning — art that speaks softly, yet stays with you.
tiny atelier creates timeless works that turn memories and universal stories into meaningful pieces of art.
Dialogues of Nature is a series of acrylic works exploring the quiet conversation between nature and the human experience. Through layers of colour, texture, and rhythm, each piece reflects how we move within nature — observing, influencing, and being shaped by it in return.
Balancing abstraction with natural forms, the works invite you to slow down and sense what resonates, opening space for reflection on our connection to the natural world and our own inner landscape.
DIALOGUES of nature
This collection is a mosaic of moments, where photos, texts, colors, and linen merge to capture the fleeting nature of memory. Each piece weaves together cherished details and half-remembered feelings into a timeless tribute to life's meaningful fragments.
FRAGMENTS of memory
This collection explores the theme of time by telling stories of legacy and memory—tracing the echoes of the past and their influence on the present and future. Through layers, textures, and timeless imagery, it reflects the connection between past, present, and future. Each artwork captures the lasting impact of moments and can be personalized to tell stories of family and relationships.

tiny atelier believes in the power of stories to connect—across people, generations, and the world around us. Every fragment of life deserves to be seen, celebrated, and cherished, as an invitation to pause, smile, and find meaning in what endures.
