Covered I Painting

Danielle van Broekhoven shares the fascination for art and nature through her paintings. The structures in her works appear while working. On the question "do you always find the inspiration to paint" she replied "I have too much inspiration. Cause if nature is your inspiration than you never lack any"... The way Danielle works keeps surprising as well the viewer as herself. In the process she works with the canvas flat on the floor of her studio. She paints with brushes and poors out paint over her works. The layers she adds each tell their own story. The way the oil-and acrylicpaint react on eachother is every time a little bit different. She loves to experiment, cause that way of painting delivers her new insights and new ideas. Painting is about emptying my head, about creating a new world on a flat canvas and being surprised by all the different images that keep appearing. It’s magical that we can keep creating new things, every work is a different from the one that came before…. By using different materials at once and also by practicing a wet-in-wet technique a whole new landscape in paint exists. A landscape with structures and textures that keep surprising and that rises questions with a lot of people about how she made this. She is a real action painter, no studies in advance, just act and react. … The colors and the behaviour of the paint will challenge her to take the next step. Her work is always about nature, painting, colors, composition and LIGHT.
