Geometric (2010) Peinture par Walstra

"In my visual work I show what moves me and what I can't put into words. I lived and worked in Ireland for a while. For example, I am particularly moved by the beautiful coastline and the special light there. But also horses, tango and some pieces of music, for example Irish and Yiddish music can particularly touch me to inspire, I love the staff. This is why I am drawn to the work of Frida Kahlo, Marc Chagall and Charlotte Salomon; life or theater? I am very happy to be exhibiting both at home and abroad". Walstra is a colorist with landscape and abstract paintings as the focus of that interest. Her works are not portraits of places but scenes that are subjected to abstraction, still recognizable but infused with colors and values beyond the normal. She explores landscape themes, subjecting them to dramatic extremes of light and color combinations that are richly stimulating and at times poetic. Art is not something we have to have, but for many of us we like the feeling of artwork in the home or public spaces. We create a need in the viewer’s mind by making compelling artworks and ideas that go beyond the commercial clichés. Walstra is trying to project emotions, tell stories and represent a scene. If the artist is thrilled then many viewers will feel the same.
