This is a pen drawing of mine of the Martinitoren that I have placed on a digitally painted background.
The Martinitoren is a symbol for the city of Groningen.
The colorful layers, use of acrylic paint and combining different 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 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 on layer technique creates a lot of dynamics.
Would you like to have a painting made? That is possible! If you have special wishes or ideas regarding subject, color, size or material, please contact me. In consultation I can personalize each work for you. Feel free to mail to info@janetedens.nl!
