Vita


Portrait Image - Meike van Riel

The visual arts of painting is my discipline, in which i prefer to  paint on large format canvas with acrylic or oil paint. Just about every day i am creating, which is not limited to painting alone: she enjoys creating poetry, sculptures, drawings and figurative art.
An education at Artibus i finish successfully and i founded the 'Nieuwe School' with a fellow artist: a painting school for adults.
I do like to work as autonomously as possible.

Currently, my fascination is the subject of simplicity. A recent collection of large minimalist paintings represent a response to today's complex society.
i portray tranquility and simplicity. i highly appreciate the viewer transcending into this imagery.
The mere simplicity is reflected in the use of color and composition. Consisting of multiple layers and hues, yet within the same color line. Presenting a clean and soothing image. Minimalism is a remark as a representation for this theme.
My inspiration is profoundly connected to my fascinations, and the urgency to translate my emotional states to visual art.
i would love to invite you at my atelier, situated in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
