about
A multidisciplinary artist and designer based in Amsterdam, working across digital art, interior design and sculpture. Through 3D modeling, spatial thinking, physical craftsmanship and storytelling, characters and concepts are brought to life with a strong sense of emotion, precision and refinement. Entirely self-taught, the practice developed outside traditional education, driven by experimentation, curiosity and a continuous dedication to refining the craft.
The artistic path emerged at the intersection of technology and emotion, where digital tools meet human imagination. By combining traditional making techniques with contemporary design software, the work balances playfulness with control, and visual clarity with emotional depth.
Inspiration is drawn from urban life, pop culture and personal experience. Cities such as Paris, Milan, New York and Tokyo have influenced the visual language, while everyday moments a gesture, a color, a fleeting memory add nuance and soul to the work.
In 2022, the character Hito was introduced and has since become a central thread within the practice of Maureen McQueen. Through Hito, themes such as ambition, identity, presence and the pressures of modern life are explored. Projects like Ambition Studies use the character as a vessel to examine how external expectations can reshape, distort or overwhelm the self.
Sculptural works often begin as digital concepts and evolve through 3D design, prototyping and hand-finishing techniques. Pieces are produced in limited editions, ranging from collectible design objects to unique artworks.
Alongside Hito, a broader body of work continues to develop, reflecting an ongoing interest in storytelling, form and the emotional landscape of contemporary life.
