Hi there, I am Hans Dutch artist.
"Accepting failure is the beginning of progress"
Biography
Have painted, and designed, from a very young age.
In the late sixties, while in Paris, I joined the Académie des european arts moderne,
and had many expositions in Paris throughout the early seventies,
I stopped practising art for many years, but In the past few years I have taken up the brush again.
I am self taught,but studied with other painters and have studied colours, light, composition, and perspective during a long period.
My chosen subjects are quite varied and diverse, and on my paIlet. I only use a limited palet in general.this may seem old fashioned, but I try to put vibration and life into all of my paintings and drawings, and try to catch the viewer to walk inside my paintings
I want my art to touch, and move, the viewer. I strive to advance and learn each and every day.
The road is long, but the ubiquitous passion gives me a satisfaction that enables me to continue to create.
In the past years, I have had several expositions in France (Brive, Objat, Saint Yriex, Terrasson,Arriege) and I am a member of several art societies (les artistes du bas limousin and l'ordre international des artistes créateurs). by invitation of Pierre Brayard
Ps. I love also to paint and design portraits and animals,flowers landscapes
many of my paintings are sold world wide Australia,America,Ireland, United Kingdom,France and Netherland
Influences

I love painting any thing what I like no matter what subject,Portraits -Animals-Flowers-Landscapes-Interior-Still life .
I paint mainly in oil,but also do drawings-charcoal- pencil - ink and pastel . .
I hope my audience will experience view and feel the movement and display the beauty of nature and creation. Feel Free to browse my Gallery of Paintings
