Alice Wielinga is a multidisciplinary artist who graduated in 2004 from the School of Fine Arts, St. Joost in Breda (the Netherlands). Initially, she worked as a documentary photographer. As she felt increasingly limited by the constraints of the profession, she began developing ways of composing images that better visualized the experience beyond the immediately visible.

Storytelling is at the heart of Alice's work. Through her work, she seeks to understand and comprehend the world we live in. She has initiated projects in China, Cuba, Pakistan, and North Korea.

With North Korea, a Life Between Propaganda and Reality (2013-2015), Alice won several international awards, including the Photo Folio Review at the Rencontres d'Arles (France) in 2014 and the Xposure Award (Sharjah, United Arab Emirates) in 2019. North Korea, a Life Between Propaganda and Reality is part of the collection of the Museum of Contemporary Photography (Chicago, USA).

In September 2017, her work was included in Donne & Fotografia in Udine, Italy, an exhibition about the "150 women photographers who profoundly changed and influenced the history of twentieth-century photography."

In 2017 and 2018, Alice returned to North Korea for The Artists Perspective. In this project, she shifts the narrative on North Korea to the voices of local artists. She gave a series of lectures about her experiences at the National Geographic Seminar (2018, Washington DC, USA), Xposure (2018, Sharjah, UAE), and at TEDx Amsterdam Women (2018) under the title What I Learned from Working with North Korean Artists.

Inspired by these experiences, Alice further explored new materials and techniques. In 2022, Alice ventured into glass art. In 2023, Woningstichting Den Helder commissioned Alice to create five large-scale glass art windows for “Het Warenhuys”. In this project, Alice reflects on the interconnectedness between humans and nature. This commission is being carried out in collaboration with Kunstregie in Den Bosch. An intensive collaboration in which craftsmanship and design complement each other beautifully. The result, Ontmoeting der Stromen, will be unveiled in Den Helder (the Netherlands) in the spring of 2026.
