Yvonne Welman · Winner Collectors Art Prize
After her education at the academy of arts Tilburg ( NL). She worked as a teacher in arts and art history. To improve her qualities as a painter she took lessons in 16e and 17e centuries oil painting techniques. The artist works with open acrylics in a layering technique. She often integrates textile fabrics and other materials from her personal history.
Her work has to be realistic, because she creates multifaceted and engaging paintings, that tell visual stories about her experiences and ideas. The stories cover gender equality, social issues, art history and personal issues. She does explore the Zeitgeist from a female view.
Serendipity, time and technique each play their part during the process of creating the paintings. It takes a lot of time to create her work, which makes it possible to add a new idea during the process. This stands in strong contrast with all the superficial images that we are surrounded with most of the day. She creates a more complex strip story from all the images we see every day. Inspiration from artists like Breughel, Jeroen Bosch, Georgia O' Keefe, Camille Claudel, Neo Rauch, Lita Cabellut.
She received awards in France, Swiss, Germany, England, U.S.A. and the Netherland She is a member of the artists societies BOK . Waddinxveense KunstKring , Krimpener Kunstwaard all in the Netherlands, Manhattans art International on line Gallery. U.S.A.,Artboxy-projects Switzerland.
