About the Item

Carolien van Olphen The Blue Kimono II Oil on wood panel 60 x 40 cm (Framed 68 x 48 cm, frame is included) Dutch artist Carolien van Olphen has left a great impression in many places with her colorful portraits. In January 2022 she was nominated for the major international art prize 'ModPortrait 2021'. This is organized in Spain by the 'MEAM' and attracts a field of participants from all over the world. Like in this painting Carolien loves to work with colors a lot. Here we see cadmium red, ultramarin blue, alizarin crimson red. All together in a great balance with a girl who can wait, so the chosen title, patience, says it all. This painting is making you feel patience with a positive vibe. Just that s the big quality of this artist. Showing peace and balance with a very positive use of beauty and color. Carolien van Olphen was trained as an artist at the 'Academy of Classical Arts' in Groningen, in the north of the Netherlands. Her calming and colorful work is n several collections worldwide. It tis shown in the 'Figuraties 2020' in Spain, in the MEAM museum in Barcelona and published in art magazines.

Maja in Kimono, reading- 21st Century Contemporary Figure Painting of a Woman
By Flip Gaasendam
Located in Nuenen, Noord Brabant
'Poems in paint' Flip Gaasendam tells with his paintings where he likes, there, in those places, he paints. His recognizable loose touch, carefully chosen colors, spherical landscapes, interiors and portraits have been part of the permanent collection of Galerie Bonnard for years. We read somewhere that Flip Gaasendam has a 'Flip Gaasendam veil' on his subjects. That is, we believe, a good description of the works of this highly esteemed artist. "Poetry in paintings" is also a statement that fits with the work and can be read in the numerous descriptions that can be found about the artist. The artist himself says that he wants to put life to a halt in his work. He says the following about his way of working:  'Because I am an aquarellist from home, I learned how to paint transparently in tone and tone. I also use that in my oil paints. My work is classified as post-impressionistic. When I paint, however, I forget everything about art history. I like a lot of things, from Alma Tadema to Andrew Wyeth, but I am a painter of today. It therefore goes too far to say that I consciously go back to the past. I work unorthodox. I do not apply the paint with a fixed method. I brush with wipes, use the palette knife, work with my hands, etc. That my palette is heavily controlled by the color green, is because I often make a painting blond with cobalt and ocher. My themes are often nostalgic and romantic. as a child, I thought the morning mist was beautiful, and with the light effect in the Groninger station restoration it is just as well. ' The modest artist can rightly be called one of the forerunners of the new...

Woman in a Blue Dress, Original Painting
By Diana Elena Chelaru
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
A woman poses in a flowing dress of blooming geometric flowers. Her confident stance emits a powerful aura, lit by the radiant background. Part of artist Diana Elena Chelaru's ongoing series of women adorned with colorful flowers.


About the Artist
Romanian-born painter Diana Chelaru’s paintings are colorful and contemporary interpretations of human emotion. For Diana, art is a means of communication. “It is how I express my thoughts, hopes, regrets and joys,” she says. Though she gets great pleasure from applying paint to canvas, it is the expression of emotions that she finds to be most important. Diana’s style is influenced by Byzantine mosaics as well as Gustav Klimt’s subject matter and use of decorative patterns within his compositions. Each artwork is created intuitively, resulting in paintings that speak to the soul.
