Eijgendaal Tanja | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Tanja’s painting is essentially abstract. She works on paper, canvas and wood, combining different materials: acrylic, chalk, charcoal, ink, etc.. She sometimes combines abstraction with more concrete forms on themes evoking wildlife, cities and women. The Danish artist draws her inspiration from her everyday life: a light filtering through the urban environment, a natural shape or an unusual shade are all enough to stimulate her creativity. Tanja creates in her works a dialogue between shapes and colours that responds with imagination and sets the framework for a story. Her technique is based on the superposition of many thin layers. She strives in this way to give a certain depth to her large bright and pure backgrounds. This depth encourages the viewer to take part in the unfinished story it tells.
