Fleur van den Berg (1972, Leiden, The Netherlands) is a multidisciplinary artist working in sculpture and drawing.
She graduated in Textile and Monumental Design from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague (1995) and in Glass Design from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam (1998).

She primarily works with ceramics, bronze, and glass, alongside materials such as textiles, wax, and composites. Her practice examines human vulnerability, transformation, and resilience, with recurring attention to femininity, environmental tension, and human relations.

Often situated between figuration and transformation, her pieces reconfigure familiar forms into unsettling or poetic hybrids. Her sculptures and installations arise from a deeply intuitive process, drawing on personal experience while opening to universal questions of existence. They invite viewers to consider thresholds between strength and fragility, autonomy and dependence, connection and estrangement.

She has exhibited in museums and institutions including Kunstmuseum Den Haag, Museum Het Valkhof (Nijmegen), Museum De Lakenhal (Leiden), Glasmuseum Lette (Germany), Glazenhuis Lommel (Belgium), Design Museum Gent (Belgium), the Ebeltoft Museum for Glass Art (Denmark), and the National Tree Museum Gimborn (Doorn). She was selected to represent The Netherlands at the European Glass Context in Bornholm (Denmark).

Her work is included in private and institutional collections, among them the Ernsting Stiftung Glasmuseum (Germany), Museum De Lakenhal (Leiden), and the Collection Dirk Schrijvers. Van den Berg lives and works in Leiden, The Netherlands.
