For the series Wild Flowers, I used leaves, flowers, branches and berries from my own garden as templates and incorporated them into paintings with acrylic and spray paint. The idea arose when I went to work in my studio in the garden in August 2016 due to the heat. It was immediately a challenge to try out new techniques. From those experiments, new paintings emerged. I wanted to 'zoom in' on the beauty of nature. To look at what is nearby and what you often walk past without seeing. Sometimes they are recognisable forms, but often it is just a print, as if it has faded away in time. It only gives the atmosphere as below. The process I started with random layers of colour on a canvas. On top of that I 'composed' branches, leaves, flowers and berries. I worked further with spray paint. And then again with acrylic for the accents and finish. The nice thing is that there is always an element of coincidence in the process. Much came about while I was working. That is almost always my way of working anyway. I think the beauty of using spray paint is the suggestion, the layering and the atmosphere created by the soft transitions. Whole pieces in the paintings suggest a lot, but are almost abstract.

My name is Lenie Kamstra. I was born in Hillegom, nearby Haarlem. Different cultures, music and powerful women inspire me. Actually I paint my longing for a heavenly world, a place where I would like to be. I’ve been working as a professional artist and art teacher since 1990. My connection with nature, animals and the subconscious are returning themes. I often work on multiple series at the same time. Colour plays an important role in both my art and my life. In my paintings I’m constantly searching for new combinations and shades. Applying them in many layers to create depth. I use colours to create the right expression for the painting. Sometimes the result is poetic and stilled, another time expressive and powerful. I start with an idea, a plan, but during the process of painting spontaneity takes over. I like to experiment with different materials and techniques. The Wild Flowers series e.g. is painted with acrylics and spray-paint, using flowers, leaves and branches from my garden as a template. Because of the templates the bottom layers stay visible and become the subject. In the Hidden in clay series I printed berries, flowers and branches in clay, painted them with acrylic and finished the tiles with art resin. I like to use materials and techniques in an unusual way to obtain a gripping result. Sometimes I use art resin and gels in my paintings, not only on top of the painting, but also in between layers of colour, thereby creating depth and transparency.
