Schilderen is kunstvorm van alle tijden
Kunstschilderen is een creativiteitsvorm die eigenlijk al bestaat vanaf de prehistorie. In die tijd werden al kunstzinnige afbeeldingen aangebracht op rotswanden die teruggevonden zijn. Maar de bloeitijd van het kunstschilderen ligt vele eeuwen later. Een zekere functie van het kunstschilderen is tegenwoordig overgenomen door de fotografie.

Painting is an art form of all times
Art painting is a form of creativity which has actually existed since prehistoric times. In those days, artistic images were already applied to rock walls that have been found. But the heyday of art painting lies many centuries later. A certain function of art painting has now been taken over by photography.

For a long time, art painting has been a way of recording images of important personalities for eternity. In Rembrandt's time, the portraits of all the dignitaries were put on canvas in portrait form, and group tableaux of these people were also painted, the most famous example being The Night Watch.

Michelangelo master of mural painting
For centuries, artistic painting was also in vogue in the construction of churches. Numerous murals adorn many old churches. Italy, in particular, has had many masters, with Rome as the centre of mural painting, and Michelangelo as the most famous master of the technique. In modern architecture, few examples can be found of the once so popular way of decorating buildings.

Techniques of the painter
The techniques of artistic painting have changed over the centuries, although old techniques are still used. The biggest changes are probably in the use of different types of paint. Paintings that are made with acrylic paint have a completely different look than oil paintings.

Numerous subjects
There is no subject that has not already been chosen thousands of times to make a painting of. Although every painter chooses his own subjects or limits himself to one subject, such as still lifes or landscapes, the whole range of subjects is very numerous. Besides the painting of recognisable subjects, there are also style periods in which painting is abstract and it is left to the imagination of the viewer what he or she sees in it.

Kunstschilderen is lange tijd een vorm geweest om afbeeldingen van belangrijke persoonlijkheden voor de eeuwigheid vast te leggen. In de tijd van Rembrandt werden de beeltenissen van alle notabelen in portretvorm op het doek gebracht en werden ook groepstaferelen van die personen geschilderd met als beroemdste voorbeeld De Nachtwacht.

Michelangelo meester in muurschilderkunst
Eeuwenlang is kunstschilderen ook in zwang geweest in de kerkenbouw. Talrijke muurschilderingen sieren veel oude kerken. Vooral Italië heeft veel meesters gekend met Rome als centrum van die schilderkunst en met als beroemdste meester in die techniek de kunstenaar Michelangelo. In de moderne architectuur zijn weinig voorbeelden meer te vinden van de eens zo populaire manier om gebouwen te versieren.

Technieken van de kunstschilder
De technieken van het kunstschilderen zijn in de loop van de eeuwen wel veranderd ook al worden nog steeds ook oude technieken toegepast. De grootste veranderingen zitten wellicht in het gebruik van de verschillende verfsoorten. Schilderijen die gemaakt zijn met acrylverf hebben een heel andere uitstraling dan olieverfschilderijen.

Talrijke onderwerpen
Er is geen onderwerp dat niet al duizenden keren is gekozen om een schilderij van te maken. Elke schilder kiest weliswaar zijn eigen onderwerpen of beperkt zich slechts tot één onderwerp zoals stillevens of landschappen maar het geheel van onderwerpen is zeer talrijk. Naast het schilderen van herkenbare onderwerpen zijn er ook stijlperiodes waarbij abstract wordt geschilderd en het aan de fantasie van de kijker wordt overgelaten wat die er in ziet.

Art For You
Henk Adriani (Amsterdam, 1952) fine art and photography trained as a photographer at the Fotovakschool and began working in practice at Satina in Amsterdam.
Since 1974 he has been working as an independent photographer. .
In the years that followed Henk began to produce various forms of visual art in which fine art as the photographic technique played a leading role.
From 1986 onwards Henk focused on a different approach to the phenomenon of the image, using painting techniques.
In this working method he found a greater challenge to express his inspiration in a much looser spontaneous and lively way.
Recent works, including those in oil, acrylic, gouache, watercolor and combined techniques, reflect feelings of emotional expression more strongly than is possible with photographic techniques. It is therefore justifiable to speak of "I paint where photography stops".

In most of my works on paper or canvas I use a bright and colorful palette.
There is often no real definitive plan, but there is a global idea, I never work from pre-made sketches or drawings, I experience the subject during the work.
All kinds of changes can be made to the depiction during the entire process of creation.
The images have a recognizable form, sometimes figurative, but very often strongly leaning towards abstract.
Making art in the broadest sense of the word, in principle all materials can be considered for the creation of my art expression: photography, painting, working in ink, charcoal or pastel and various graphic techniques such as etching and screen printing, often in a combined form.
