Sonja Brussen
Sonja Brussen is a contemporary award-winning Dutch painter. The greatest source of inspiration for her is nature. She aims to catch the moment, the speed of light, and the cloud change. Capturing light, air, and space is a daily chase and quest.
Her striking artwork fuses impressionism and expressionism, and her technique and color choices are powerful and very unique. She is influenced by the weather in the field, including the sun, cold, wind, and rain. All of these inspirations have an impact on how her art is created and how it feels. She also considers the sounds of nature, such as birdsong, wind, waves breaking, and bushes rustling, to be important. Because of how intensely she has experienced nature, when you look at her artwork, you immediately feel as though you are in the center of that particular piece of nature. As a result, you are experiencing nature firsthand rather than just viewing an image of it.
Sonja Brussen was born in 1974, in the Netherlands. Brussen is a member of the Dutch Association of Sea Painters and the Katwijkerkring. Her paintings are in private collections in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Thailand, Ireland, England, USA, Singapore, Canada, Italy, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, Scotland, Sweden, Australia.

Van 10 oktober tot en met 19 december is mijn recente werk en die van ruim 100 collega's te zien in Museum Møhlmann tijdens de Onafhankelijke Realisten Tentoonstelling. Ik kijk er zelf ook weer enorm naar uit, want het is altijd weer een prachtige tentoonstelling om te bezoeken...
"De 23e Onafhankelijke Realisten Tentoonstelling is het jaarlijks brede overzicht van hedendaagse realistische en figuratieve kunst. Dit jaar hebben 114 Nederlandse kunstenaars hun bijdrage geleverd aan de 23e ORT. En zij laten zien dat er voor de kunst geen afstand, geen barrière bestaat; geen voorschrift, wet of regelgeving, geen mondkapje of oogklep. Kom langs en (be) leef het"

Reviews and comments
A very beautiful painting! I love the subtle color and value shifts in the reflections. Great work, Sonja!
Magnifique peinture! Les couleurs du ciel et les reflets sur l'eau inspirent calme et sérénité, félicitation!
Thank you so much Cathy!
Splendide ! I love the colours and mood in every artwork you have done !!
Extraordinaire pausage. Bravo Sonja.
Beautiful painting, Sonja !
I love your portfolio, Sonja !! Beautiful artworks !
So exquisite mood.......! Almost onirique !
Tres beau. BRAVO
Thank you so much, Cathy!
I love your artworks, Sonja !!
Прекрасная работа-такая глубина!
Belle galerie de tableaux avec le ciel bien travaillé et de jolies couleurs. Cordialement
J'aime beaucoup le traitement de l'eau et des champs (moins celui du ciel, auquel la peinture en épaisseur se prête moins bien -
à mon sens). Mais le tableau a beaucoup de relief.
it is a very beautiful picture!!!
Whaou !! Wonderfull!! that sky !! magnificent !
Uw werken zijn zo mooi!Prachtig,allemaal.
Superbe ce ciel mouvementé !! Amicalement. Monica
Une peinture où l'on respire a plein poumon l'air de la campagne grâce à un sacré coup de pinceau .
Saludos cordiales Sonja, sus obras son excelentes, yo he quedado fascinado con el dominio del color, la gestualidad, el ambiente, en fin todas están maravillosas! felicidades.
