Introduction<\/h2>\n

\u201cArt is not the reflection of reality, it is the reality of reflection” (Godard)<\/span><\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

International Contemporary Artist<\/span><\/h2>\n

Dutch artist Carry van Delft is known for her paintings that capture the fleeting effects of light, color, and changing moods in nature.<\/p>\n

Grown up in an artistic and musical family with love for nature formed the basis for her later work as an artist.<\/p>\n

With a foundation in painting, photography, art history and classical music, she creates a refined interplay of emotion and visual narrative, resulting in a richly varied and versatile oeuvre.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In her work, she explores the tension between tranquility and abundance. Nature serves as a mirror and source of memory, capturing tranquility and optimism and symbolizing the power of nature. Her design of the imperishable is an expression of her own search for a new experience of reality.<\/p>\n

While her early work was purely abstract, she now chooses an interplay between abstraction and figuration. This shift is a conscious step to increase the layering of her work.<\/p>\n

\n

She works alternately in the Netherlands and in the heart of France (Limousin).<\/span><\/span> This romantic region, with its rolling hills, sunflower fields, and lakes, inspires enthusiasm and was once a significant source of inspiration for artists, composers, and writers (s.a. Monet, Guillaumin, Chopin, G. Sand).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Her works are held by companies and art enthusiasts both within and outside Europe.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Artistic Statement<\/strong>
\nNature and the sense of wonder it evokes in me are almost a philosophical source of inspiration for me. I’m interested in visual experience, in which color, light, and atmosphere play a significant role. That overwhelming feeling when you see something impressive or powerful in nature. It allows me to translate these experiences into concrete, abstract images. Artists from the Romantic and Impressionist move and inspire me…..”<\/p>\n
