Statement I, Serie Woke up Blind 2017 Painting

The Dutch painter Catharina de Rijke lives in the Rhineland and works in Cologne, Leverkusen, Berlin and Brussels. She studied design in Delft and art history in Paris, graduating in 1981. Of course, the painter who was born on the coast loves the sea and the vastness of space, and many of her paintings revolve around the relationship between water and land. Light plays an important role in your work. Here, too, your pictures are site- and moment-related reflections on reality. Her landscapes also have a poetic character due to the unusual application of paint, and their balance of stillness and movement invites inner contemplation. Her works are represented in the Schirmer collection, Museum Jülich, as well as in private collections in Belgium, Germany, France, Kuwait, the Netherlands and the USA.
