Illustrator Maaike Canne Joins Jelly

Maaike Canne is an artist and illustrator based in Rotterdam, NL, whose work seamlessly bridges murals, oil paintings, and digital designs. Inspired by modernist architecture, interiors, design, and nature, her bold and colourful compositions explore the fascinating interplay between interior and exterior spaces. Often, her pieces hint at a human presence—like someone has just stepped out of view—adding a touch of narrative intrigue. 

Maaike commented, ‘No matter the medium, my goal is to tell a story, ensuring the illustration is cohesive and true to my style.’

With a refined elegance and a distinctive global sensibility, Maaike’s work combine heritage-inspired aesthetics with punchy patterns and vibrant palettes. This polished yet strikingly modern style lends itself perfectly to high-end applications, from luxury packaging to fashion campaigns, travel, food, and beauty branding. Whether painting murals for commercial projects or creating as part of her artistic practice, her pieces exude warmth, sophistication, and a timeless yet contemporary charm.
