Hidden desire V Painting

Gerry Zweegers paints expressively. The use of loose brushstrokes gives her works a lively and dynamic appearance. This approach creates a sense of movement and spontaneity. She uses various techniques such as oil paint, acrylic and charcoal and in her works you see many references to classical artists (e.g. Max Beckmann and Edward Hopper), as well as to contemporary artists (e.g. Rinus Van deVelde), but they have their own clear signature. The topics are usually narrative, allowing everyone to discover and interpret their own story. The woman looking thoughtful at a table with a man may suggest inner reflection, unexpressed emotions or a hidden desire. For some it may be a moment of deep contemplation, while others may want to unravel the dynamics between the characters - possibly an unspoken wish or hidden feelings.
