This is a digital manipulation of a painting of mine, acrylic and mixed media on linen.
The colorful layering, use of acrylic paint and the combination of different techniques and materials (mixed media) characterize my work and my own style.
I like to reflect my interests in my paintings and by combining the form, content and texts I create a strong visual language. A painting is only successful when I like it. I follow my own taste, watch the trends and see what gives me energy. I like to paint portraits of women. These are all hand painted. The newspaper clippings, pictures from magazines, pieces of wallpaper, letters, etc. are applied with special glue and after a certain drying technique, the next layer follows. This layer over layer technique provides a lot of dynamics.
Would you like to have a painting done? I can! If you have any special wishes or ideas regarding subject, colour, size or material, please contact me. In consultation I can personalize any work for you. Feel free to mail to info@janetedens.nl!
