Anneloes van der Linden

Anneloes van der Linden creates paintings on canvas with mixed media and acrylic.
Mixed media means the use of sand, paper, watercolours, chalk, dust, leafs, etc.
Men and nature mainly inspire her. In her paintings she tries to express the visual and not-visual aspects of people, animals and nature by abstracting figurative elements. In doing so she slowly increases tension in the painting. Bodies and people are interesting as long as they are shown anonymous. Her colours are usually warm and rich, her brush-strokes spontaneous. Sphere and emotion give a special significance to her work. To her a painting shouldn’t be too obvious, but intriguing instead. That is why she works on the crossroad between perfection and imperfection, in which an accidental brushstroke, a colour, line or clot of paint is part of the process.
