Antje Stel masters the genres of portraits and landscapes. The years of academic lessons she has followed with the master painter Cornelis Le Mair have shaped her as a traditional painter. The technique learned there forms the starting point for the construction of her portraits. Both elaborate portraits that show a striking resemblance to the portrayed and abstract landscapes painted with a rough, broad, loose touch are part of her oeuvre. What stands out in her paintings are the attractive composition, harmony of colors and appropriate modesty. Her aim is to express 'The Beautiful' through the unity of color, light and shadow. The subjects are every day and recognizable to everyone. The result is a powerful oil painting that suggests three-dimensionality.
