Sobre el Artista

facebook:https://www.facebook.com/fijnschilderen instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annelies.de.jong/ website: https://annelies-dejong.nl I paint with oil paint in the fine painting technique. The technique I use used to be further refined by the Dutch schools, and now the modern materials make it possible to create a contemporary look. Inspiration My art aims to reflect the intimate connection with Source and the deepening experience of spiritual awakening. Fascinating is the contrast between my inner journey: “who am I” and the seductive dream world that I try to create at the same time alongside the everyday theme. Creating imaginary worlds for oneself and others is of unprecedented value. I get my inspiration from the spiritual journeys that I have made alone through India and Nepal. In these countries I have been to the most beautiful locations and I have had meaningful contact with the population, nature and culture. I have experienced pure harmony in India and Nepal, an intense experience. You could call my work fantastic realism. In my paintings I try to combine the realistic, the fantastic and the loving. Influence on my work are the great artists: Alice Buis, Ellen Lorièn and Johfra. My paintings invite you to wander with your eyes, in a colorful world to undergo a spiritual experience. How I work From a deeper layer of consciousness I receive one or more images into my representation, which I then 'focus' as I call it. I do this by looking for elements that clarify that image. To give shape to this I make a sketch and the idea is written down. After collecting texture, pictures and photos, a new painting is created. I put all collected photos and parts in a photo program and make a nice composition of it, until it represents my image. On the basis of this digital composition I make a painting. Technique, style and working method are very important here. In my paintings I try to combine the realistic, the fantastic and the loving.
