Gold Painting

www.matthieuvanriel.nl Inspiration for my work comes from many walks along flowerfields (tulips), in heathlands, polders and woods in The Netherlands and rugged majestic mountainous regions like Jotunheimen en Rondane in Norway, the Alps and the Dolomites in Italy. The paintings are precisely translations of feelings, observations and experiences during the walks: the grandeur of nature, immateriality, emptiness, colours or spatiality, colors of flowers/trees/nature, mist, reflections of light in water, the wind, waves, the light (morning, day, evening), atmospheric light, the temperature (cold and warmth), ice and glaciers. In 2020 I was at the Monte-Moro pass. I walked from the the Mattmark dam in Switzerland to the border to Italy. At the top of the pass there is the Golden Statue of Mary. The yellow-ocre color in the painting represents the gold of the statue. Painted with professional quality acrylic on high quality canvas. Ready to hang. Education: Academy of Arts Sint Joost Breda The Netherlands. Diploma of Higher Education 1987. I graduated cum laude. Museums: I exhibited in the Stedelijk Museum Breda Netherlands (2018 and 2019) and the Jan Cunen Museum Oss Netherlands.
