This is a digital adaptation of a painting by me, acrylic and mixed media on linen.
The Martinitoren is a symbol for the city of Groningen.
The colorful layers, use of acrylic paint and combining various techniques and materials (mixed media) characterize my work and my own style.
I like to let my interests come back in my paintings and by combining the form, content and texts a strong visual language arises. A painting is only successful when I like it. I follow my own taste, pay attention to trends and see what gives me energy. I like to paint portraits of women. These are all painted by hand. The newspaper cuttings, 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 on layer technique creates a lot of dynamics.
