Asyla Ten Holt's exhibition going on at the Kas di Arte right now is a
retrospective of her years in Bonaire during the 80s. Viewing her oils and multimedia rederings of that period is particularly
poignants as the face of Bonaire changes daily with all the new development and building. Changes are apparent in the views
of the harbor and in the work of th people. During that period in Bonaire, Asyla worked with children, with
other artists and had exhibitions.
Her work lives on in the coral stone flamingos in the pavement of
Kaya Grandi. Many of her paintings are on permanent display at the Maduro Bank Bonaire and th WEB office. Asyla is a Reiki
Master, a yoga therapist, art practitioner and poet. She conduct art classes, hand crafting and flowing yoga. Her sense of
spirituality is reflected in all of her works. In addition to her painting, on display and for sale are her jewelry designs
made of healing stones and crystals, prints of her works and exotic hand-tie-dyed T-shirts.
