In the home

A painting is finished the day it hangs on your wall.

I deliver and place each work myself, living with art is part of the making. Here, pieces at home with the people they were made for.

About

"Colour has always been my language, a way to hold a feeling that words cannot reach."

Portrait of Paula Harmsen

I am a Dutch abstract painter. I make bold, colourful work, but the colour is never loud for its own sake. It comes from people, places and moments. I paint slowly, and one piece at a time. Much of my work now lives in Israel, in the homes of people who love to live with art.

The process

From a first conversation to the wall it hangs on.

01

We meet

A conversation first, who you are, and what genuinely moves you.

02

I see your space

The light, the room, the colours you already live with, all of it feeds the work.

03

We shape the idea

Feeling, palette, scale, nothing begins until it feels right to you.

04

I paint

Each painting takes the time it needs, a process, never a production line.

05

It comes home

I bring the finished work to you and we hang it where it belongs.

In their words

It is the first thing you see, and the room finally makes sense.
