Femme Sensible 1 Print

"Artist Yvon de Witte has mainly been producing drawings, paintings and photos of figures with a clear signature together with a kind of transparency and lucidity. De Witte studied Art and Cultural History after School of Arts. With the help of the MondriaanFoundation (foundation for the stimulation of visual arts, design and the cultural heritage from the Netherlands), De Witte has also been able to present her work in New York. YvonDeWitte approaches her work in a way that is allowing her to paint, while driven by inner forces which brings natural inspiration. This work radiates peacefulness; the reflection of her soul frozen on canvas and paper. De Witte paints intuitively and, using her senses, creates forms that express power as well as vulnerability (tenderness). It is DeWitte's ability to keep things in perspective, with a subtle touch of humour that can be traced throughout her work. Together with a discrete sensuality, this gives her art its monumental dimension". Text by M. Besselink, Teylers Museum, Haarlem
