Ernst Kruijff

Ernst is a mixed media artist, using a wide variety of media for well over 20 years. He received his master of arts from Utrecht University, where he studied art history. Strengthening his creative side, in his early years he was taught by the well-known Dutch artist Jan de Kok, with whom he cooperated on various projects. Over the years he has been active as a freelance graphic designer and photographer for both private and commercial clients. Furthermore, he worked and taught three years at the famous Bauhaus in Weimar, Germany. His artwork can be found in private collections throughout Europe.

Ernst's artwork ranges from colorful abstract paintings, glazing tempera in multi-layer works, up to mixed media art pieces, combining acrylics and art markers. In his works of art, he always tries to create interesting, dynamic compositions, using vibrant colors and multiple layers of geometric and non-geometric forms to create depth and versatile structures. Often, new sub-levels of the composition and there out forthcoming levels of interpretation appear to the viewer over time, making the paintings even more attractive. Sources of inspiration included Bauhaus artists and the futurism/suprematism art movements.
