Adriana van Zoest
Red onion in glass bowl- 21st Century Contemporary Still-life Painting

2024

About the Item

Adriana van Zoest Red onion in Glass bowl 65 x 45 cm Framed 73 x 73 cm ( Frame is included in price) Oil paint on wood panel (2024) Various subjects Adriana van Zoest's paintings are not easy to classify under one heading. We roughly divide the subjects she prefers to paint into three. Still lifes Virtuoso still lifes, with ultimate perfection as the main goal. In these works she tries to achieve the ultimate illusion technically, based on traditional painting techniques. Her subjects range from tubers to flowers and from a Roman vase to a Mirror Ball. Beautiful materials that are never translated 'one-on-one' into paint by the artist. Adriana van Zoest explains how the objects are used as a source of inspiration. The artist then 'manipulates' to his heart's content. Van Zoest creates his own reality with light and color, for example. Animal still lifes The still lifes of deceased animals make for particularly appealing paintings. The animals appear to be portrayed at the moment when death has just occurred. Their beauty is preserved in this way for eternity. There appears to be a sleeping state, the position and composition in which the animals are depicted reveal that death has occurred. The surprising and contemporary paintings were created after a process of studies in oil paint and then displayed in various layers on the panel in the final form. The technical perfection ensures that the reality, despite the added individuality of the artist, remains sensational, no matter how long you continue to look. Animal portraits The fact that the artist is an animal lover is also evident in the still lifes of the deceased animals. This is certainly also reflected in the portraits that Adriana van Zoest has made of the living animals. 'The cat' is a clear favorite. Yet, in addition to various types of cats, various fish can be seen. A greater difference in skin than between these two animal species is perhaps not conceivable. Here too, the artist shows her desire to exceed perfection and it is almost unimaginable to see how picturesque and also "real and colorful" the animals are depicted. We ship our art worldwide for free in a custom made wooden crate. ( An example is shown on the last picture)
