Alie Ten Hove

Alie ten Hove lives and works in Markelo, a small village in the east of the Netherlands.

Although I have taken painting lessons from a Dutch artist for several years, I am mainly self-taught. I have been painting since 1997.
Starting out as a watercolorist, I soon moved on to acrylics.
Acrylic gives me the opportunity to work in thick layers and structures, but also in a watercolor way

Impressions and feelings from daily life and especially nature are a great source of inspiration for me, which I incorporate into my paintings according to my own insight.
My landscapes are mainly inspired by Norwegian nature, but I also get a lot of inspiration from my surroundings in the Netherlands.
Lately I have been painting mostly abstract; with many layers and many bright colours. Every time I start a new abstract painting, it's an adventure that I don't know where it will take me.
By playing with colors I am trying to give my work a certain atmosphere and recognisability.
I use paintbrush, palette knife and many other tools that are at hand.



My works are to be found in private collections in the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, UK and USA.
