Welcome

ANITA-M. – Artist with heart and soul.

 

Welcome to my site.

About me

Visual artist with heart and soul in the 2- and 3-dimensional plane. In 1955 I was born in Cape Town, South Africa. In 1963 we moved to above the equator. In 1982 I graduated from the Leiden university, visual arts, cum laude. I have always been fascinated by light. Light which comes through reflection on surfaces in general. My earliest light memories are set on the beach of Cape Town (Seapoint). The interplay of light and water, surface in motion, comes in abstract form reflected in my work back. The verses on my page CONTACT show you in essentially words the way of  my paintings.

Please let me show you both, my paintings as well as my bronzes.
I work with a painting knife on canvas. I am using different pigments that I make liquid with a medium.The paintings have themes that are increasingly supplemented over the years with new work.

 

Paintings   COLRFIELD PAINTING

The themes are:

– SILENT DEPTH

– UNIQUE SURFACES

– DIPTYCHS

– EGGS

– GENTLEMAN AND NAUGHTY LADY

– IN BETWEEN RED, BLACK AND WHITE

Bronzes.

The bronzes which I make are at one site an inspiration of my own paintings. This is reflected  in the final image as well as on the skin of the image that the touch of the painting knife shows. On the other hand a totally different theme. And than allso the portraits which are always commissioned and drawn up in consultation with the client.

The themes are:

– INSPIRATION ON MY OWN PAINTINGS

– A MIX BETWEEN: VAGABOND, GENTLEMAN, ARTIST

– PORTRAITS


My studio is also an exhibition space.
