Ellen De Groot

The depiction of women is the most important theme in my work. Furthermore the painting of tissue and the qualtity of cloth-materials is of considerable importance.
My main inspirational sources are the Flemish Primitives, Memling, Rogier van der Weyden as well as Hans Holbein. Their work is the model of perfection in painting technique,material-expression, composition and the use of color. It breathes the peace and harmony which I also wantin my own work.
