About The Artist


BIOGRAPHIE Ron Westerweel 

Ron Westerweel (1954, the Netherlands) painted during his medical studies until this could no longer be combined. The foundation laid then turned out to be still there when he picked up painting again in 2016. After a course and self-study, he started painting full-time with his own studio/gallery at the historic harbour in Goes from 2020 onwards. He is mainly inspired by the baroque, great Dutch masters, impressionists, realists and surrealists. You can actually say, 'pocketing’ everything that suits him. This also applies to the environment where there is so much to see if you are open to it.

A good camera is a great tool for this. The old masters didn't have that.

Portraits, landscapes, animals, a theme or something special from, for example, the mushroom world. His realistic and partly surrealistic work is characterized by diversity, colourfulness, theme choices, character and atmosphere with the appropriate technique for the painting subject. If possible with some humour and a story behind it.

As materials he uses acrylic paint, water-mixable oil paint, watercolour, panpastel / pastels and charcoal.

 

Ron has exhibited at several Dutch Art Fairs, the Nationale Kunstdagen, Bubble Art Project (several European cities), Florence Biennale, Los Angeles Art Show and galleries.
