Trijntje Oosterhuis, born in Amsterdam, started her career in the 1990s as the lead singer of Total Touch, a band formed with her brother Tjeerd. Her breakthrough came when she opened the Amsterdam ArenA with “De Zee.”
As one of the Netherlands’ most versatile artists, she easily shifts between pop, soul, and jazz. Since going solo in 2001, she has collaborated with legends like Toots Thielemans and Burt Bacharach.
In 2019, she celebrated her 25-year career with a sold-out concert and released “Dit is voor mij.” During the pandemic, she initiated the Lovestream from her living room and served as a judge on “We Want More.”
In 2023, she released a tribute album to Henny Vrienten with Xander Vrienten and the Residentie Orkest Den Haag, continuing to inspire with her musical passion.
Cathedral of Thorns
The Cathedral of Thorns is a full building-sized illuminated labyrinth on the Caribbean island of Curaรงao.
Visitors are invited to walk through its corridors and experience an artistic journey through a troublesome history toward a bright future; both sides are represented by the hostile yet beautiful thorns. To raise consciousness of the similarities between religions, the design includes symbols of today’s world religions and ancient nature-based religions. The walls have niches containing objects of contemporary art by guest artists, expressing mankind’s ability to change, share and collaborate through creativity.
In addition, the labyrinth also functions as a stage for performances.
The Cathedral of Thorns was designed by Herman van Bergen, winner of the International Sculpture Award, 2023 and the prestigious Cola Debrot Award in 2016, and was constructed by unemployed youth. This work of art (in progress) unites all themes of Van Bergen’s previous thorn-art sculptures into one expansive project: a building honoring Mother Nature and the Free Spirit that achieves change through creativity.
