Painting Hot day Dishoek-19ws123 by Van Lynden Heleen | Painting Figurative Oil Life style

Heleen Van Lynden's oil paintings attempt to translate the immense variety of colours, forms, lights and shades contained in the real, by exploring all of its subjects and all of its sides. An attentive observer of the world, who is curious, adventurous and a keen traveller, the artist looks differently at what surrounds her, landscapes, nature, cities, animals, objects or humans, and lays them down on canvas poetically, a reality passed through the filter of her emotions. This "sensitive realism" explores the real through the subjectivity of the painter and the phenomenon of transformation that occurs between what pre-existed and what is created on the canvas.
