Binic Étables sur Mer. Artwork

Karin Vermeer is an independent artist who has lived and worked in Rotterdam since 2002. She was born in Tilburg in 1970, where she went to Fashion school until she was accepted at the Willem the Kooning Academie in Rotterdam in 1990 and got her degree in Illustration in 1994. After working as a freelance Illustrator and Decorator for a couple of years, it was time to start as an independent artist creating paintings and murals. Fashion and female portraits have always been her main interests, even as a little girl, constantly looking into glossy fashion. She was fascinated by the way these beautiful models were portrayed but also found it disturbing how unrealistic it was the way these pictures were manipulated. That is what started her interest in mixing up photographs digitally and manually. The raw structured landscapes are a new original series made from pictures I took during my travels in and outside Holland. Last year, I visited Binic-Étables-sur-Mer⁩ with my family. Like always, I took pictures, hoping to use them for my paintings. I loved these rocks because of the black stone and yellow moss contrast. I created a round painting with a diagram of 120cm out of it. The painting is a unique work of art made using a mixed media technique that combines photographic elements, gel media, which I use to create the structures, acrylics, oil paint, and a UV-resistant satin coating. It is very detailed and has a lot of very fine brush strokes. It almost seems as if this work comes to life when you stand in front of it. You can lose yourself in the details. The effect is practically 3D. I created this piece by hand on a high-quality wood panel with a satin coating. Ready to ship worldwide by professionals.
