Vergezicht (2022) Digital Arts by Henk Adriani

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.
