My latest work 'Barok' is inspired by the work of two female Dutch painters from the seventeenth century: Maria van Oosterwijck and Rachel Ruysch. Both took up a special position as women in a profession that was mainly practiced by men. Maria van Oosterwijck, from Nootdorp, set up her first studio on the Voorstraat in Delft. Later she left for Amsterdam, where she started working as an assistant to the still life painter Willem van Aelst. Rachel Ruysch, born in The Hague, also followed her training in this studio in Amsterdam.
Baroque is part of a series of flower still lifes, an ongoing project called
Preserved, which I started in early 2018. The source of inspiration are still lifes from different style periods in art and culture. The material consists of found artificial flowers, vases and props from the thrift store.
Practical information: dimensions 80 cm x 100 cm, price 750.00 euros including 9% VAT. The edition consists of 7 prints. I deliver the work with a certificate of authenticity. The print is on dibond with a thickness of 4 mm and a matt lacquer finish, of course with a hanging system so that the work can be installed immediately.
Baroque is for sale through my online flower shop. You can also
