A portrait painting of a woman in front of a landscape composition. The woman has dark hair, olive green eyes and wears a red dress. She is pictured to the middle left of the painting. Behind her in the middle is a circular cloud scape with ramparts and trees at the bottom. Over the length of the picture a horizontal band depicting ruins is painted below the cloud scape. The overall background is a light blue. This picture was inspired by Homer’s Iliad. The woman is Cassandra, princess of Troy and priestess of Apollo. To win her love Apollo gave her the gift of prophecy. But when he was rejected he also added the curse that no one would believe her prophecies. Cassandra foretold the ruin of Troy. The cloud scape refers to Troy before the fall, the ruins after the fall.

Danielle Hameleers is a contemporary Dutch painter. Operating within the figurative/realist style, she utilizes models, placing them against a diverse array of backgrounds, including some abstract settings. This approach allows her to indulge in her deep appreciation for the human form, often juxtaposed with landscapes, seascapes, flowers, or vibrant color compositions.

Self-taught in the realm of painting, Danielle's academic background led her to study chemistry, earn a PhD, and engage in innovation management. It was during a sabbatical that she ventured into the world of art, taking sculpture lessons and rediscovering her passion for drawing. This pivotal moment marked a transformative shift in her life.

Through the exploration of drawing, painting, and sculpting from life models, Danielle honed her skills and deepened her understanding of human anatomy. Among various artistic mediums, she ultimately chose oil paints for their luminous and beautiful colors. Her artistic focus centers on portraying the human form against vibrant and expressive backgrounds, a testament to her love for capturing the essence of her subjects.

Inspiration for Danielle's paintings stems from a variety of sources, ranging from daily observations to classical mythology. Her diverse experiences, from a background in chemistry to a sabbatical pursuit of the arts, have contributed to the unique blend of technique and subject matter evident in her captivating and evocative oil paintings.
