About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Acrylic

Paint using traditional pigments mixed with synthetic resins.

Chalk

Drawing made with chalk, a white marine rock that is traditionally white in colour and can sometimes be coloured.

Painting Pastel

Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts. Taking the form of a colored plastic stick, it is composed of pigments, a filler (chalk or plaster) and a binder (gum arabic, oil, wax). We mainly distinguish fatty pastels (oil or wax), dry pastels, whether soft or hard. Invented in Europe at the end of the 15th century, this tool was very quickly used by great portrait painters of French royalty, such as Charles Le Brun, Rosalba Carriera, Jean Siméon Chardin or Maurice Quentin de La Tour, who will be considered the "Prince of pastellists", thanks to a method of fixation of which only he knew the secret.

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Focus on a future you dream of creating

I am a self-taught artist and a dreamer. And I struggle a lot. I always dream of a colorful life. While living in Southern California I took up photography. I painted fun and expressive art on clothing, designed by me and sold to some small fancy shops on Melrose Blvd. I painted murals for children's rooms but found that painting on canvas had my preference. Twelve years later: back in the Netherlands, I took several workshops sculpting in stone. It became a journey: sculpting in stone, sculpting in clay, analog, and then digital photography, ending up painting with acrylics and drawing digitally. Taking online classes with Pamela Caughey and Nickolas Wilton and Suzanne Allard, designer. Still overcoming my insecurities, but at last, I find great pleasure in painting and using different media. I procrastinate at times, but I see that mainly as an inner search for the next thing to come. And when busy with my hands, my heart takes over and I get completely lost in my work. I love imperfection while trying to be perfect. I figure that if I don't try and spread my wings, I will never know how high I can fly.
