First Dive Drawing

Noella Roos (born 27 January 1969 ) is a painter and drawer from The Netherlands. Born into a family of artists, her talent was nourished and stimulated from early childhood. She studied at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague (The Netherlands), Antwerp (Belgium) and Athens (Greece). At the Dutch art academies, after all, personal development is strongly placed before mastery of technique. Noella Roos chose her own path, averse to the ongoing "˜trend'. Noella Roos has exhibited in many cities throughout Europe (Italy, The Netherlands, and Belgium) and Asia (Hong Kong, India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and Korea). Her drawings are inspired by Michelangelo, Käthe Kollwitz, Andrea del Sarto and also Dooijenwaard. At this moment she lives and works in Bali. Noella lets dancers dance on music in her studio on Bali, and then draws these dancers while in motion with compressed chalk on white paper. She is inspired by Balinese dance and exploring the interaction between dance and painting as forms of human emotional expression. Noella's drawings and paintings of dancers represent the translation of the culture and tradition from the region to her own artistic expression.
