Early life and education

Career

Her paintings are created from numerous layers of translucent applications of pigmented wax that are fused together with a blowtorch to create a smooth and glossy skin-like surface.[2] Yntema has worked in marble dust, aluminum, iron powder, wood and wax. She said in 1996 that her body of work "makes reference towards figuration and landscape, but is abstracted and abbreviated to encompass the initial intensity of the physical gesture."

In 1991, Yntema edited Portrait of a Mile Square City: Stories from Hoboken, written by David Plakke.[3] Yntema lives and works in Brussels, Belgium.[4]
