Older and Wiser Painting

‘MARJA VAN PUTTEN IS A PASSIONATE PAINTER’ Her passion is recognizable in all her paintings. It is visible not only in her choice of subjects, but certainly in the way she uses different kind of materials. Van Putten ignores the conventions in traditional painting. She easily uses fabrics, beads, buttons on a canvas as much as the different kind of paints that can’t be mixed. In her contain a wide variety of subjects, but there is always the characteristic way of using material. At each painting, the approach to the subject and painting itself is different, but you can feel there are reasons and thoughts behind the choices. Fascinating and confusing at the same time.
