Raquel Abbott
Artist and Designer
Raquel is a Dominican artist based in the Netherlands, living with her husband, toddler, and their sweet dog. Through her watercolor art, she brings color and joy to her world, creating pieces that not only express her emotions but also connect with and inspire others.
Drawing inspiration from nature, childhood memories, and decorative elements, her work often tells a meaningful story. From vibrant patterns to hand-painted frames, Raquel designs everyday products that elevate the spirit and brighten any space.
Her creative process blends traditional watercolor techniques with modern design influences, resulting in unexpected color combinations and harmonious visuals. Each piece incorporates natural elements and subtle nods to vintage interior design, creating an immersive and thoughtful experience for the viewer.
Many of Raquel’s designs carry a personal connection to her past—whether it's the striking colors of buildings in the historic center of Santo Domingo or the memory of her mother’s favorite flowers.
Her art is more than just decor; it’s part of a broader vision, transforming everyday moments into something beautiful, and bringing joy to both your home and your daily life.
Raquel’s journey from the Dominican Republic to the Netherlands has been one of personal transformation, and her art beautifully reflects both her cultural roots and the new experiences of her adopted home.
Raquel loves bringing her client’s ideas to life, whether it’s a custom illustration with a hand-painted frame for a special gift, a repeat pattern for a project, or artwork for a wedding invitation or birth announcement.
She also offers a selection of art prints and postcards in her webshop, allowing clients to bring a piece of her creativity into their homes.
For Raquel, every project is an opportunity to create something meaningful and connect with others.
