Art & the mystery of being human

I create abstract mixed-media paintings to make the invisible tangible. I build up my works in layers, combining natural colors, rich textures, transparent color layers, and open spaces.
The contrast between rough and refined, dense and open, earthy and ethereal reflects the complexity of life and the many layers within ourselves.
I feel drawn to what is not visible or easy to explain: the subtle layers of experience, intuition, emotion, and a quiet awareness of something greater than ourselves.
By working intuitively and introspectively, I explore the balance between raw emotion and inner stillness, between the tangible and the ethereal. My paintings bring these seemingly opposing worlds together and create a space where duality can exist within a sense of unity.
For me, art is an invitation to slow down, to feel, and to look beyond the surface. If work that leaves room for reflection and invites you to discover something of yourself in it appeals to you, I cordially invite you to view my paintings . My workshops are all in my studio: Korfmakersstraat 12 Rotterdam

Day Workshop Abstract & Mixed Media Painting
Sunday, September 27, 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM
In this workshop, I will provide you with a solid foundation for abstract and mixed media painting. You will work on a painting, possibly with texture, measuring approximately 58 x 78 cm. You will discover how to combine various elements and materials into one exciting whole. You can use modeling pastes, jute, paper, rust, and acrylic paint, among other things, to bring depth, contrast, and character to your work.
Suitable for both beginners and more experienced painters.
With love,
Elisabeth Veerbeek.
