Anneke Zwager

The paintings of Anneke Zwager are a colorful expression of the landscapes. She makes the landscapes glow in different shades of blue, green and yellow.
Inspiration comes often from agricultural fields or natural surroundings. Whatever she paints the peace and stillness always creeps in.
This is what she tells about her own work: ”I have become convinced that the less that happens, the more I see. I then look much more carefully and with more concentration. In doing so, I gained an eye for processes and mutual connections. The stillness is conditional. Many natural phenomena do not show themselves without that peaceful environment. And without the silence, even the stillness within yourself, you cannot see it. You have to want to see it and make an effort to do so.”

In today's fast-changing world, it's important for people to be able to unwind. Anneke Zwager tries to contribute to this in her art by bringing silence and balance.


She loves to go outside for the plein air painting. In the studio the paintings are finished.
