Contemporary Art – Carry van Delft
“Art is not the reflection of reality, it is the reality of reflection” (Godard)
The Artist
Carry van Delft is a dutch contemporary artist that has exhibited in many countries. Besides Leidschendam, she works alternately in her studio in central France. She gained fame by her harmonious nature paintings that reinterpret the perceived world in her own way to capture that one moment in which nature reveals itself. Her work is sometimes abstract than again on the edge of figurative.
Van Delft paints with passion and dedication. Whether it is the atmosphere of a beautiful garden, a full flower fragment, a mystical or sun-drenched landscape or a wild sea, she captures nature in all her facets. In exuberance and color, but just as well in a calm and intense atmosphere.
Contemporary Colorful Florals
The colorful abstract floral works show flowery fragments as well as blooming gardens and field impressions. Sometimes explosively painted with long strokes, then again in a more quiet setting. They are harmonies of color and tone often with contrasts of light and dark.
Atmospheric Landscapes
Since 2003, the artist has exhibited with more than 50 exhibitions at home and abroad, including the Netherlands, France, Germany, the United States, Belgium, Hungary and Italy (Biennale) at galleries, regional museums, (international) art fairs and manifestations.
Artworks can be found in art rental, corporate and private collections in the Netherlands and abroad.
Statement
Places that we consciously perceive in nature usually never leave us indifferent. They linger in our minds. Every person has a place with great memories. My work evokes these memories. They lead the viewer to places where one can just wander through certain moments of time. Stillness, timelessness but equally exuberance and abundance. The diversity and contrasts in nature remain for me a never-ending experience to put on canvas. Light,air, color, space. What inspires me is the world with its all-embracing greatness of nature. For me nature and art are inextricably linked to each other “. Nowhere do I find so much inspiration, peace and comfort as in nature.
