Shivers Painting

My name is Rob Bijsterveld, a visual artist based in Rotterdam. My passion lies in creating large figurative abstract portraits where expression and movement come together to inspire people and leave a lasting impression. My studio and gallery are located in the HNK building at the foot of the Erasmus Bridge. This is where my large abstract figurative portraits come to life, mostly painted in acrylics and sometimes combined with oil paint to create powerful contrasts. My paintings are an expression of the power of positive thinking and the influence our thoughts and emotions have on our lives. Inspired by Self Love Mindset, mindfulness, and The Secret, I aim to build a bridge between inner strength and outward expression. I believe that the energy of positive thoughts not only transforms ourselves but also the spaces around us. My art is an invitation to look at the world with a positive mindset and to embrace the power of the present moment.
