Caught in Heaven Print

Hey, How nice of you to visit my site . Let me introduce myself, my name is Lisa de Hoogh, born in the year 1989 and I live in Alkmaar. My last training was for Life Coach, which I am now completing. Furthermore, I am self-taught, I develop myself through self-study. My passion for painting stems from the fact that I was looking for something I could completely lose myself in. Where I could be detached from the world around me and let the thoughts flow. At that time, I suffered daily from extreme fears from life events that had happened to me. My thoughts then almost negative often pushed me into a corner that I didn't want to end up in. I wanted to get rid of this, even if it was just a break to disconnect from it. I wanted to feel free again. As a young girl I had once enjoyed a drawing course and decided to pick it up again. Drawing just didn't give me the satisfaction I was looking for. I scoured the shops looking for a hobby with which I could create something. To make it exciting, I came face to face with the painting supplies. I felt a kind of "yes" inside and filled my shopping cart. Painting brought me what I was looking for and what I really needed at the time and that was "freedom". Now painting has become a hobby that got out of hand, and I enjoy it almost every day. It is still a world that I can still fully explore and where there is still a lot to learn. The piles of cloths are getting higher and higher. This was the reason I started selling paintings. My dear brother, the marketing man, came up with the proposal to start selling my paintings. And this didn't seem such a crazy idea to me, but it was exciting. But I had already endured so much that this jump seemed very small. All my paintings are painted with acrylic paint. Whether there really is a logic in my paintings in terms of style or form, except that my paintings always have something childlike. I don't really have any kind of style, a common thread that you will find in my work. I paint what I need at that moment or what I feel resonated with. This can be paintings in abstract form, the female body, couples and portraits and also the spiritual world is discussed. I also like to paint animals with which I feel a strong connection at that moment. You will often find in the description of the painting what such an animal stands for and what it meant to me at that moment.
