An introduction to how you can learn to draw and paint like the Italian Painters of the Renaissance and Baroque era
André’s personalized approach ensures that by the end of your journey, you’ll hold not just a brush, but the key to unlocking the soul of portrait artistry.
As an artist, I am drawn to the rich complexity of the female form and spirit. My artistic journey is a constant exploration of the essence of femininity. Through the medium of oil paint, I seek to capture the essence of women, transcending mere representation to explore their inner strength, resilience, and unique narratives.
You are very welcome to my gallery & atelier 'KUNSTHUIS André', based in the Engelse kerk (English Church) Simpelhuisstraat 10, 4331 PH, Middelburg NL, which has been open since Autumn 2024. Art spanning from the 17th century to the present awaits your discovery. Explore a curated selection featuring not only my creations but also those of fellow artists who have masterfully depicted the human spirit across various mediums.
