About the artwork

The Woman Who Stands in the Clouds by Jan Keteleer is a landmark oil painting which was a late assignment for artist Edvard Munch. It was during a break from a life of sitting on the couch in front of the television when this masterpiece was completed. The Woman Who Stands in the Clouds is perhaps best described as a modern-day masterpiece, with its painterly style and the vibrant colors that are common of the art of this time. For anyone who appreciates artwork that is colorful and animated, The Woman Who Stands in the Clouds by Jan Keteleer is a must-see oil painting.

The style of The Woman Who Stands in the Clouds is very much like that of the other paintings by Edvard Munch which are often characterized by a heavy use of shades and hues. Keteleer's style is a far cry from these, however, as he creates most of the image in one light color, using varying intensity and shading to create the clouds. As a result, the painting has a vibrant but subdued look, as if it were done in muted natural tones. The palette of colors is mostly mauve, and there are also some dark spots throughout the painting which give it a feeling of an abstract style. There is no mistaking that the colors used were meant to stand out in the summertime, where they are especially prevalent. As a result, the painting evokes a summery feeling and is therefore perfect for any living room or patio area.
