Visiting Prague

Karen Nijst Profile picture Snowy roofs of the Ledebursky Palace overlooking St. Nicholas Church in Malá Strada.
Literally translated, Malá Strana means "little side. This is one of the oldest parts of Prague and the neighborhood lies between Prague Castle and the river 'The Moldau'.
The history of the Malá Strana begins with the arrival of the Prague Castle after which, due to its favorable location, the neighborhood quickly grew into an important center of international trade.
St. Nicholas Church
In the distance you can see St. Nicholas Church which was built between 1732 and 1737. The impressive baroque-style design is by architect Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer. The church is dedicated to St. Nicholas of Myra about whom I already blogged in December: 'St. Nicholas: bishop from Turkey or pagan Wodan?'

This artwork is offered by Karen Nijst

Karen Nijst has lived in and near her beloved hometown of Maastricht for many years. She currently works as a web developer (Kahlo Websites in Hapert, Brabant) and is responsible for both programming and graphic design . The latter has undoubtedly influenced some of the drawings you can see here.
Karen likes to draw and write as often as possible and sees herself primarily as an illustrator. She can also become fascinated by a photograph. Like the drawing of the market in Maastricht. What are those people thinking? Where are they going? What would their lives be like? Something like that remains fascinating while drawing each little figure -no matter how small- .
Carnival
Of course also the vastelaovend in Mestreech is subject of many a drawing. A grateful subject even, because only in Maastricht you can find the shoenste scenes. Beautifully dressed up people, wonderful colors ... imaginative and above all: 'chic'.
Technique
In recent years, Karen has enjoyed working on paper and, increasingly, on her IPAD Pro.
Karen: "I enjoy the challenge of looking for the best color palette, the right composition and cut-outs. I also often combine different scenes. In addition, it is not my primary goal to portray people in a recognizable manner, unless of course it is a portrait. I just want to capture a certain atmosphere as well as possible!"
