Koos Smit

About the Artist

Koos Smit

Netherlands

Koos Smit (Jacobus Cornelis Maria Smit) Born in Berkel-Rodenrijs The Netherlands.
Koos has been working as a selftaught artist up till 1980.
In 1981 he took lessons in painting at the "Vrije Akademie” in Rotterdam, and continued his studies in fine art and painting in 1983 at the "Koninklijke Akademie voor Beeldende Kunsten" in The Hague.
In 1988 he graduated successfuly .
Since that time Koos is working as an independent artist and has had many exhibitions in a variety of galleries and art-promoting institutions, as well as in The Netherlands as abroad.

Momentarily, Smit is working mainly with acryllic paints on canvas.
With a combination of acryllics and varnishes he has managed to attain a quality, comparable to oil-paintings, in structure, depth and coloration.
By bringing in pieces of paper, textiles and pigments he attains structure and relief and the paintings acquire depth by strong lines and robust primairy colorfields.
The refinement of beautiful, saturated color intensities, arises trough many layers of thin paint. (glaze).
Choosing for acryllic paints gives him the possibility to work prolonged, fast and dedicated.
During certain stages of the proces of painting it is important to work fast, to be able to stick to that moment of intuition and inspiration and thus attain the dynamics of the composition, in which a unique, pictorial world comes alive.
