Trees in Ando Hiroshige style

Ando Hiroshige, also known as Utagawa Hiroshige, (Japanese: 歌川広重 Utagawa Hiroshige) (Edo, 1797 - there, 12 October 1858) was a Japanese artist, who made ukiyo-e (Japanese woodcut print) prints. He became best known for his landscape prints. He achieved his fame in the period 1831-1834 with the publication of The 53 Stopping Points of the Tōkaidō, a series of 55 prints depicting the stopping points and starting and finishing points of the Tōkaidō, the main road between Edo and Kyoto. His success resulted in a great workload that led to a period of lesser artistry in the 1840s-1850s. In 1856, he began his last major work, One Hundred Famous Faces of Edo. Ando Hiroshige is an inspiration to me and I have further developed the landscape genre in my own way based on my own paintings. Beautiful and zen.

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.
