About The Artwork

Donna Dei Pini (Pinetree Woman) My fifth painting in the series 'Demoiselles Mondiale' is the ‘Donna Dei Pini'. The series shows strong women, painted on large, loose canvases, inspired by my travels, encounters, art that touches me and my own feminine strength. This painting is about my memories of Italy (where I stayed so often when I was younger), where I sought a cooling shade under the pine trees when the sun at noon was so booming hot. We also had a lot of family picnics in the pinetree woods near the Mediterranean with pasta and fresh fruits and I could peer for hours over the endlessly calm sea of summer during the siësta. This painting is a synthesis between my former paintings about Italian trees and femininity. It is also about quietness. I painted this canvas very patiently and thoughtfully but in a relative short time. The ‘Donna Dei Pini’ is painted in carefully selected and delicate colors and playful lines and planes. The lady seems to rise from the calm Mediterranean as a kind of fertile, strong and confident woman who is also playfully painted in a rhythmic plan that divides the space into facets. The painting is made on a loose hanging canvas; a very high-quality, professional linen, from Artel, with a high number of yarns per centimeter. The high weight and regular structure makes the canvas perfect for a painting of this dimension. It has the quality mark "Master of linen", a hallmark worn by the leading linen weaving mills in Western Europe. The painting can be hang as a loose canvas but can also be stretched to a frame. the canvas is 191 x 112 cm, the painting is 172 x 102 cm.

In a short docu I show you my latest series of paintings in my studio. In Dutch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPrjF3D0Irs&t=61s Living in a not-too-big city in the south of the Netherlands, the Dutch visual artist Sylvia Thijssen walks every day to her studio. It is a four kilometers walk wherein she crosses two small rivers. It is an excellent distance to free her mind of domestic affairs for to let the muse in. It is in this sunny, personal space that she paints her colorful canvasses, in active gestures big and small, like dancing, always trying to hear the colors sing together, searching for an energy wherein is also the peace of a moment in eternity, taking time as if the paint forms a structure that grew and matured. Thijssen is not thinking of her work as making paintings, no, these are adventures. Exciting adventures for her as a painter to make new experiences for the one who is looking at them. These adventurous paintings are meant to wander the mind and to wonder the eye. See also her website: http://www.sylviathijssen.nl
