Natural Chaos Painting

About the work of Danielle van Broekhoven welcome at the account of Danielle. A intuitive, expressive and brave painter ;-) She makes large scale painting that are colorful, full of structures and chemical processes. That burst with energy and expres a great love for nature, a botanical world, art from other painters and the action of painting itself. The strength of her works is based on the interaction between herself and the painting in the making. While experimenting with paint and other materials, memories come to mind, but the action in the studio, the dialogue between her and the works created at that moment, is always leading. Painting in this phase is very intuitive, active and physical. During the painting in layers, the canvas is alternately laid down and placed upright. Large pools of acrylic paint are poured over oil paint. Parts are (again) polished away, other parts are highlighted and extra emphasized by a new layer of paint. In the striking, powerful gestures with which she applies the paint, there is a certain audacity in handwriting and brushstrokes, a determination in choosing and treating her materials. Without being fully aware of it, she brings those characteristics together in paintings that ultimately always "burst with energy and at the same time bring harmony."
