Sittard from the Kollenberg

Sittard (Limburg: Zitterd) is a city in Dutch Limburg, in the transition area between Central Limburg and the South Limburg hill country. It is one of the oldest places in the Netherlands and the second-oldest city (a place that once had city rights) in Limburg, after Maastricht. The name Sittard is derived from Siter, from the Old High German sîte, height or mountain slope, and the place was therefore located against a slope, the Kollenberg. This area was conveniently located between the Geleenbeek and the Roode Beek. Since 2001, Sittard has formed the municipality of Sittard-Geleen together with the south-western neighbouring municipality of Geleen and the municipality of Born, located in the former Western Mining Area. Sittard, city of Sint Joep and Toon Hermans In Sittard, I loved going out during my youth. Gateway to the hill country southward, the sandy soils northward.

Contemporary images and even those from the past inspire me to recycle them for re-actionary contemporary impressionist art. My drawings and paintings are sketch impressions in a loose and free style, the paintings in a colorful palette. I also produce collages and digital artworks or find new inspirations and compositions through paint strokes from existing works. I work fast, from emotion, averse to perfection, careful not to lapse into details and endless fiddling.

Compositions in an almost unfinished state, works that are part of the contemporary impressionist incentive. Evolving towards a more questioning abstract essential contemporary expressive impressionism.

With the internet we are overloaded with thousands of images a day, wonderful. But does original art on the wall still have a future? Yes, you can touch them, feel them, smell them. Paintings and drawings that move and stimulate you, that give you attention and immerse you every day in a bath of total relaxation and pleasure. People say that I am one of the most appreciated and renowned post-war art painters from South Limburg. I sell my original works all over the world. I very much appreciate the cooperation with Werk aan de Muur / Oh my Prints because my originals are now also available for everyone through excellent, high quality re-productions.
