Cornelius Art

Change the World ... ... Make you're Own

Born in Amsterdam.
Painter all his life.
Cornelius lives and works in Breda the Netherlands.

My paintings show a field of tension of figurative and abstract painted parts. Working with a pallete of only prismatic colors the paintings show a strong and energetic world. The paintings talk about a world of beauty and happiness. My aim is to make beautiful paintings of "my own world" which eventually, may give people a feeling of joy freedom and happiness.

" LONG AGO ALCHEMISTS QUESTED FOR THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE, WHICH, PEOPLE SAID WAS ALL AROUND US, THOUGH NO ONE COULD FIND IT. THIS STONE MIGHT JUST BE ANOTHER NAME FOR HAPPINESS. AND MY PAINTINGS ARE THE MAGIC TOOL I USE TO UNCOVER HAPPINESS FROM THE WORLD WE LIVE IN. "
