www.beemsterboer.ch I discovered my passion for painting when I was studying art. Back then, when I was 22, I actually wanted to be a photographer, video artist or filmmaker. But then everything turned out differently. I discovered the magical world of painting in my sophomore year. It was like being in kindergarten as a kid. I had an incredible thirst for discovery in all directions: abstract, realistic, expressionist, impressionist, surrealist. My urge to paint was indestructible and insatiable. In the end I decided to paint realistically. Even though I've been painting for over 30 years, my curiosity and passion is still the same as it was then. Love and passion: my pictures come to life with fine brush strokes. I lovingly express the details. I passionately paint my reality with oil paint. Beauty: For me, beauty can be found in the everyday; I see people laughing and hugging and having serious conversations with each other. I capture these moments with the camera of my iPhone. In my studio, I convert the captured moment into an oil painting with great attention to detail. Reality: I paint reality as I see it. My pictures are a representation of my reality. Attention to detail: I find it absolutely fascinating to paint details. Small reflections on a wave or the small blades of grass in a mountain landscape. Portrait: When I paint a portrait, I don't see the shapes that make up the face, I see the soul that shapes and expresses the face.
