An interior can be as stylish as it is, only the right art gives it real character. This is the conviction of Paulien Huizinga, who, after a versatile career in front of the camera, years of experience as an art photographer and a lifelong passion for art, introduces a striking concept: This Is Not a Gallery. With this art curation concept, she helps interior designers and individuals select art that seamlessly matches both the space and the occupant's personality.
"Each work has to resonate with both the space and the person looking at it on a daily basis," says Paulien Huizinga, former vice Miss Universe Netherlands. PHOTOS ESTER GEBUIS
A stylish interior is more than a collection of beautiful furniture and thoughtful layouts. Art adds an extra dimension and makes a space truly unique. With Dit Is Geen Galerie, Paulien Huizinga offers a service in which she carefully selects art that not only fits aesthetically, but also adds emotional value. Whether in a modern flat, a classic townhouse or a minimalist loft, art becomes the connecting factor that brings the space to life.
Complementing interior design
Many people hire an interior designer to realise their dream interior. But how do you choose art that really suits you and the space? This is where This Is Not a Gallery comes in. Whereas interior designers focus on materials, furniture and the layout, Paulien makes sure the art fits seamlessly into the style and atmosphere of the interior. Her service is the missing link that really completes an interior.
Also for existing interiors
Art is not only an enrichment for a new interior. Dit Is Geen Galerie also offers a solution for existing interiors that could use a new dynamic. A well-selected work of art gives a space a personal touch and brings harmony. From paintings and sculptures to photography, ceramics and installations, each work contributes to a unique, distinctive atmosphere.

Personal and artisanal approach
Paulien Huizinga combines her years of experience as an art photographer with a keen eye for composition and detail. Her approach is personal and meticulous: from an initial introductory meeting to the moment the perfect work of art hangs or stands in the right place. This process is unhurried, because real art needs time to find the right match. Paulien completely tailors her approach to the client's wishes and the energy of the space.
Access to hidden gems
An important aspect of This Is Not a Gallery is that Paulien works independently and is not tied to permanent artists or galleries. This gives her the freedom to continuously search for inspiring works and talents. Thanks to her extensive network, she has access to artworks that you won't easily come across in a standard gallery. Whether it is a striking statement piece or subtle art that enriches an interior, each work is selected with care and feeling. "Each work must resonate with both the space and the person looking at it on a daily basis," says Paulien Huizinga.
