About this artwork
Another beautiful nude study painted in the style of the French impressionists.
This painting is a dance of interwoven brush strokes that captures the subtlety of the play of light on the human body. The artist enjoys lighting his subjects and finds cooler colours in the shadow areas while expressing the light areas in warmer tints and hues. Every colour on the model will also be found in the background that has been abstracted into many layers of… single brush strokes. This is a style that Anthony frequently revisits as he still enjoys painting in the style of the French impressionists. This painting would be a perfect compliment to the bedroom or study area.

« I am inspired by beauty and the positive stories behind people's lives. My portraits strive to express the emotions behind people's eyes rather than creating a realistic rendering of the person. »
Anthony de Klerk is inspired by the people that he meets and interacts with, particularly African youths who have the ability to rise above challenging circumstances and conditions. The award-winning South African painter's first love was wildlife art, which he now finds himself returning to. In his creative process, De Klerk uses acrylic paints and gesso with palette knives and various scraping tools. In his larger portraits and nudes, he works with oils in a more traditional manner.
