Joanna Wolthuizen
Artist. Founder of Composed Abstraction™.
Joanna Wolthuizen is an Australian abstract painter known for large-scale works that engage architecture through proportion, material stillness, and controlled geometry.
Developed in her Melbourne studio, her practice—termed Composed Abstraction™—positions painting as a spatial instrument rather than an image.
Her works are held in private and corporate collections internationally and are recognised for their structural clarity, enduring presence, and long-term cultural relevance.
In The Mineral Series, Joanna Wolthuizen distills her visual language into an architecture of stillness. Through refined geometry and a mineral palette, each painting becomes a structure for contemplation — an interplay between rhythm and restraint, colour and calm. These works evoke the quiet poise that follows understanding; the serenity that emerges when emotion meets order.
The Vivid Series explores the architecture of motion — where colour, rhythm, and light converge. Each composition becomes a living geometry: energy held within structure, emotion distilled into design.
Together, the works form a lexicon of vitality — an architecture of joy.
Art and architecture share a common language of proportion, rhythm, and restraint. Joanna Wolthuizen’s large-scale abstractions transcend décor to become integral to spatial design—transforming walls into instruments of balance, presence, and identity.
