Petra Gruiters

ARTIST statement

“I love painting people, especially portraits. My figurative work is narrative, in which I create an atmosphere that expresses emotion.

My theme is the power and subtlety of femininity and capturing the essence of beauty and vulnerability. Using light and color to create a romantic, soft atmosphere that invites deep reflection. Beautiful draperies that emphasize the body and beautiful flowers play a major role in my work.

I’m inspired by classical painting and try to continue this tradition through my craftsmanship. With a painterly style and realistic rendering, I create beautiful works of art with oil paint on wooden panel or real 100% Belgian linen.”
