With oilpaint, acrylic or mixed media, I am looking for the colourful free translation of the inner world of emotions and feelings of authenticity of live fear, hope and sometimes desparation.  The mood of my passions has to be noticeable in the paintings and accordigly I am willing to respect and accept the language of the painting that arises. Because I am going with open-minded on exploration, I am out of control until I feel the intensity of the leading thread of my life.

Karin Bos Netherlands. Born: Rijswijk, 1966. Lives and works in Amsterdam. At first glance, the picture work of Karin Bos evokes a pleasant world. Bright colors and motifs that refer regularly to childhood contribute to this. However, slightly absurd discords and frictions then raise questions that remain unanswered. The extras in her work are often knights errant and stray heroines or otherwise out of context dislocated characters. They reflect "The Search", but the only evidence they put on the wrong track. Just as they think they have unraveled mysteries, solves the answer to a new question. So everything they embrace their journey only provides a semblance of certainty.Personal web

Eugénie Dammer Netherlands, Eindhoven. Academy of Fine Arts St. Joost, Breda, the Netherlands. Painting / Monumental design, 1976-1982. “The fragile crazes in our supposed reality are the bridge to 'different' point of views: new openings: movements and interpretations, struggled out of what is being held as true. This starting point forms to me also the essence of my quest. This is translated in firm, well chosen strokes onto the canvas with the line as a guideline playing a dominant role. The themes I am occupied with ask for a flexible approach. Over the past years my work had gone through a determining development. After having worked abstractly for a long time the emphasis has now come to focus on a figurative image. Apart from the eventual form, in which my paintings give an account of my personal working process, they have become more and more 'readable' in their advancement…” Personal web

Since 2014 general coordinator Project Din A4. ”After working for 10 years in Trade and Industry, in 1990, I decided to make works of art and to become an artist. In order to understand the meaning and importance of Contemporary Art, I studied history of art for 4 years, from 1990 until 1994. Also, in that particular time, I have been working together with another artist from Utrecht, who was my teacher, in order to obtain the necessary skills in drawing, painting, etching, and other disciplines, and to develop my own "pictorial language". My admiration is for the narrative art and technical proficiency of Rembrandt, especially because of the Brilliant light/dark aspect in his work, for the renaissance artist. "Michelangelo", because of his Brilliant colours and for the baroque art of Rubens, because of his phenomenal compositions. More modern artists who I admire, because of the dramatic aspect in their work, are Anselm Kiefer, Enzo Cucchi and Sigmar Polke”.  Video Personal web

In his drawings, flat shapes in often lucid colors are the principal elements of spatial compositions, where as the sculptures both take and make space.

Frank Verhoeven Netherlands, Rotterdam. Royal Academy of Art and Design in Den Bosch 1983 – 1988. The paper is the exhibition space for the drawing. The format is landscape, narrative, linear or A4 (shown here). The linking of stimuli (points) made me realise that analytically a line consists of countless points. These points can be split up, creating an organic semi-line.To a large extent, the visual language has moved to the computer screen, on which a line is made up of pixels. Dividing one pixel into nine pixels makes a semi-line visually possible.

Johanna Willemsen Netherlands, Roemond. Johanna Willemsen’s paintings represent an attempt to demonstrate that the world (“Umwelt”) which surrounds us not only appears to us as a totality of already structured meaning, in which the things possess a clearly defined name and function. By stripping the things of their unambiguousness - ‘the interference’ that accompanies their being named - and to till these out of their everyday context, she allows them to escape from the ‘ gravity’ of this context, thereby giving them the appearance of hovering in indetermined space.

Marco Wit Netherlands, Roemond. Marco Wit grew up in Veldhoven, Netherlands, where he graduated from the MTS for advertising and presentation in the direction of 3-D design. Between '94 and '98, he has studied Plastic Design (image carving) at the Art Academy Maastricht. Since '97 he has lived in Roermond, Netherlands, where he works in the Municipal Museum, Roermond, next to his artistic career.His work consists of 2-D images, but more over of 3-D objects, considering that what should be expressed determines what form is best suited for this. As a result, the work is very diverse in appearance. All objects get their tight finishing off.Often the modern complex world serves as an inspiration, and particularly the role of the conflict in this. Symbols and objects from the world of war, whether in or out of context, on an enlarged or a reduced scale, are used in order to create a new view on the world.
