colossol Painting

Paul Dirkse Contemporary artist, Netherlands My mixed-media work blends chaos and harmony. Extensive world travels and my curiosity for exploring new adventures inspire my focus. Painting is my way of communication. I use it to share my impressions of what I experience. It is hard for me to define what exactly influences me - it is a sum of many separate elements that are around me and that I come into contact with. I'm trying to convey the potency of the forces of nature. I strive to depict the beauty and colour of our natural world infused with the vibration of light, translated individually. I’m captivated by the power of nature and by the serenity in diffuse twilight. To me it’s especially important that my work continues to evolve and that its strength and significance increase. That’s why I’m constantly experimenting subjects and techniques. With respect to significance, my paintings must all express sensitivity, spontaneity and vitality. I have garnered a world-wide following of private collectors and my work currently resides in over 25 countries.
