Van alles en nog wat kunt U hier onder vinden.

I make non- figurative art.
I use elements from real live though as motives in my paintings.
Could be human or animal figures, flowers, buildings, mountains or whatever comes in my mind when I start my first sketch on the canvas.
I try to create a balance in my painting using forms, colours and composition.
I use primary colours but also mixed colours and also bronze and gold.
Everyhing I do when I make a painting springs from my inner emotions, from my inner awareness, from my heart and soul.
I feel a painting and I don't stop till I feel it's okay.
I stop when I feel that the painting is in balance.
I can't exactly explain.
It just happens.

I mostly already have some vague idea about what I have in mind when I start a painting.
That's just a basic idea.
It differs.
Sometimes I get an idea about a person I met or saw.
Or sometimes I get an idea about something human or human interaction.
Like human violence, child abuse, solitude, war, etc.
I look for things I can use as motives in my painting.
I can't just simply copy a vase with flowers or a cow or dog or person.
That doesn't give me any inspiration at all.
Inspiration for me mostly comes from human interactions, what human beings do to each other.
That yields me emotions and my emotions mostly trigger my inspiration.
The inspiration shows itself while I work on my painting in the way I use my materials and colours and I compose the motives in to a composition on the canvas I like.

I can get my best ideas out of the blue.
Not necessarily when I'm depressed or feeling bad.
Sometimes I walk around with an idea and then it might take a while before it's actually so far developed in my mind that I start doing it, I mean start making the painting.
I don't think anyone can say when best ideas come to mind.
Personally feelings play a great part when I get my ideas.

I don't actually evaluate whether an idea is good or bad.
An idea is just an idea to start painting.
Once I've started the painting I go on till I feel it's finished.
And then I can get a bad feeling about it and start changing it.
Or not.
Ideas can be important as to motivate yourself to start painting.
When you paint figurative and have something, an idea, in your mind which you have to draw in details it must be different.
In the way I paint and create my paintings that's less the case.
But I guess that you can only evaluate your idea when the painting is finished.
If it's bad maybe it's because the idea was lousy.
If it turned out beautiful then maybe your idea was good, ha,ha,ha!

I don't have a specific message.
Or maybe a message could be in some paintings I make when I am inspired by what humans do to each other.
Violence, war, greed, exploitation, etc.
But then I can only hope that the viewer can see that "message" hidden in the painting.
Or maybe not.
I do hope that the viewer gets feelings while watching my paintings and hopefully that they like my paintings.

Behind my work often hides a feeling.
A feeling about someone I saw, or a situation.
These feelings give me thoughts, ideas, contemplations and above all emotions.
I use form, colour and composition to express my emotions into my paintings.
Besides that, I make paintings in wich I try to create a colourful and positive atmosphere.
In such a way that a painting by LaReinaWilleke can be a nice addition to decorating your home or company.
Maybe that's a message?

All my paintings are unique.
They're painted on canvas.
I use acrylic paint and modellingpaste.
Characteristic for all of my paintings are high- relief style because of the modellingpaste I use and the bronze and goldpaint used.

I started painting some decades ago and had to learn to develop myself.
And I mean artistically and that's mostly an inner and intuitive process.
In doing so I found that I slowly began to see myself as an artist when I noticed that what I was doing, what I was creating on the canvas, became better.
I noticed that because people, strangers, began to like my paintings.
That was an eye- opener.
But hey, you can see yourself as an artist, but you must always work on becoming a better artist than you are at the moment you see yourself as an artist.
So actually you can not really see yourself as an artist.
Other people see you as an artist.
I see myself as creator of my personal paintings in my personal style.
When other people tell me I'm artist I feel flattered.

Making art is an emotional thing.
It involves your emotions.
The creative process is the opposite of the cold analytical thinking process.
If you're really deep into making, creating art, then you become emotional.
It influences your personality.
As an artist and painter I am sometimes really caught or driven by my emotions while I am painting.
But when I don't do that I can easily think in an analytical way.
But as an artist I might be a little more impulsive than other people perhaps.

If you look up the definition of "postmodern" in Wikipedia you get three different definitions and descriptions in the English, German and French version.
That's to illustrate that it’s not even possible to define uniformly such a period, direction or style in art history.
That's only important if you yourself wish to be placed into such a box.
If that matters to you as an artist.
It doesn't matter to me personally.
I'm not busy rationalizing my artwork.
When Van Gogh was alive all art- scholars thought him to be a lunatic and bad painter.
Even the Dutch who maybe a century later built a special museum to honour him and now call him an icon in art history.
So I don't bother to get into the type or sort of "school", "direction" or "style" I belong or don't belong.
I make my own art in my own way.

How should art be evaluated?
You must first define what art is and that might be more complicated than at a first thought.
Art is something subjective.
It is subject to the personal taste of the one who observes a work of art.
One might like the paintings of Leonardo Da Vinci, another might like the work of August Renoir, another Pablo Picasso, another Karel Appel, and so on.
And those artists all painted in a different fashion.
In the old days there were strict rules for composition and perspective.
Figures had to be positioned in a specific way on the canvas and that would be the correct way and the same counts for the rules of perspective.
Nowadays it doesn't matter if you wish to paint half a head on the left side of the canvas and a leg on the right side of the canvas and a yellow square in the middle and since Pablo Picasso started his Cubism the rules of perspective didn't really matter anymore.
You can do it right or do it wrong and when you do it wrong it might be intentionally done so by the artist.
So how to judge whether a work of art is good or bad?
Maybe it's just the "click" you get when you watch an artwork.
Something that gives you this "wow- feeling".
Think of a soccer match and imagine how 22 players run across the field after a ball.
And among them one player attracts attention, because of the way he moves, the way he plays the ball, so graciously.
He doesn't even run fast, doesn't score much.
But when you see him play there's something that makes him rise high above the other players.
It's the "click" you get when you watch him play.
You don't even need to like soccer.
It's an indefinable quality that makes it a pleasure to watch him.
That's how you perhaps can evaluate the work of an artist.
Look for the "click" or the "wow- feeling" or that "undefined quality".
I hope that among my paintings there will be works that will give people such "wow- feelings"!

Wow, Art is so subjective. What is art to one person maybe junk to another.
It depends on what style and direction in art you are.
There are dozens of totally different art- style and directions in art.
Figurative, non- figurative, renaissance, baroque, rococo, expressionism, impressionism, cubism, fauvism, Der Blaue Reiter, Bauhaus, action- painting, Cobra, surrealism, meta- realism, pop- art, digital art, etc, etc, etc.
People who like only figurative art may not like non- figurative modern art.
People who like pastel colours may like the impressionists but may dislike the work of Paul Klee or Jackson Pollock. It's all about the personal taste of people.
There is no precise definition of what "art" is.
Art can trigger emotions in the hearts of people.
Or people can just try by cold mental reasoning to find an explanation for themselves when they watch a modern artwork they don't understand.
For one person art can be emotions and for another person the philosophy behind the artwork is more important than the artwork itself.
Art could well be emotions!
To me it is .
To me art is emotions.

As an artist I try to develop myself and evolve.
You can’t stand still, you have to move on.
Your ideas, your techniques, the way you work, your artistic instincts, intuition, everything.
If you stand still you'll deteriorate or at least your artistic abilities will I think.

Is art necessary?
If you create art it must be a definite "yes".
Though strictly taken art isn't a primary necessity to stay alive.
I mean, food, water, clothes, a roof above your head are basic necessities.
If you're an art lover you might also say "yes".
Art and culture are necessary.
I'm an artist and I know there are people who really don't care at all about art.
They consider an illustration from a children's book to be "cute".
They have no notion of and no interest in art.
Just to keep things in balance art is necessary.

Zonnige kunstmarkt profiteert van Moederdag

Gepubliceerd op 11 mei 2009, 11:45
Laatst bijgewerkt op 11 mei 2009, 11:47

Almere/Anouk Kemper -

Jan Jippe van Herrikhuijzen werpt zaterdag een tevreden blik op de Diagonaal en de Schutterstraat in het stadshart. De vijftig kraampjes van de Kunstmarkt, die hij samen organiseert met Hennie de Groot, baden in het zonlicht en krijgen veel belangstelling. ,,Wij merken hier niets van de crisis."

Volgens de organisator gaat het enorm goed. ,,Ik hoor van kunstenaars dat ze leuk verkopen. We krijgen veel positieve reacties. De kwaliteit is hoog en het aanbod afwisselend." Dat klopt, op de Kunstmarkt is van alles te zien en te koop: beelden, foto's, sieraden, mozaïekwerk en schilderijen. Vooral kleinere werken vallen bij de bezoekers in de smaak, vermoedelijk heeft Moederdag daar wat mee te maken.

,,Mensen waren echt aan het overleggen over of hun moeder iets leuk zou vinden of niet", zegt Franny Thonhauser. De beeldend kunstenaar heeft een drukke, leuke marktdag. Net verkocht zij nog een masker. Bij Eppo Bosch loopt het iets minder. Zijn aquarellen, reproducties en kaarten worden vaak bekeken, maar de Almeerse stadsbezoekers kopen niet veel. De schilder heeft daar wel een verklaring voor: ,,Je zit hier tussen het winkelend publiek, mensen komen niet voor kunst." Bosch haalt laconiek zijn schouders op. ,,Een schilderij is geen impulsaankoop."

De tienjarige Kaiya staat samen met haar broertje Timo (acht) aandachtig te luisteren naar kunstenares LaReinaWilleke (Willeke Lindeman). Kaiya vindt de fleurige schilderijen wel leuk, vooral ,, omdat iedereen er iets anders in kan zien." Ze wijst naar een schilderij met een klein 'poppetje' in het midden. Lindeman legt uit dat dat doek over bewust zwanger worden gaat. ,,Mensen moeten goed over zo'n keuze nadenken." De kunstenares lacht wanneer ze de grote ogen van Kaiya ziet en zegt: ,,Daar ben je misschien nog een beetje te jong voor!"

Volgend jaar wil Van Herrikhuijzen weer een Kunstmarkt organiseren, hij zoekt naar een nóg betere locatie in het stadshart. Uiteindelijk moet de markt uitgroeien tot honderd kramen verspreid over het hele centrum
