Herman Stel

About Herman Stel

Herman Stel (1959) born in the Netherlands is a autodidact when it comes to his painting. Contrasts in shapes and colors and drawing faces inspired from childhood always. After the millennium I started again with drawing and painting. First, animal figures and I have added the series of portraits later. This style, inspired by the desire to do something with emotions, people and faces, I combined with the colorful style where I painted already.
I work a lot with our eldest daughter Jorien, also an artist. She makes beautiful forms of paper art. We exhibit together in several galleries, mostly in the Netherlands but also in Copenhagen and Belgium in 2015 and this year a international exhibition at the Fusion Art Galleries in Miami Florida. Since the beginning of 2016 we started our own gallery, something we are very proud of. We regularly sell work, including to America. We note that our work is gaining prominence and therefore international interest is beginning to emerge. It's fun and inspiring to take part in exhibitions with my daughter and together to be his art. This father / daughter combination often produces nice reactions.
