About this artwork
I started to paint flowers about 7 years ago. Inspired by the watercolours of Emil Nolde, the Dutch Baroque still lives and the flower paintings by Manet. Sometimes I am like a magpie, I love shiny and brilliant things. Flowers give me the motive to push the colours to the edge. First I painted in gouache on paper and fantasy, later I moved to oil on canvas and ended often painting irises. The technique I use for these flowers is very different from…
my 'normal' technique, in order to push the colours to the limit. I especially love irises because of their weird shape... This is a big one!

Bert Van Zelm is a talented Dutch artist who has participated in exhibitions and residencies in Italy, the Netherlands, US and UK. Interested in studying the idea of how paintings lack space and time, he concentrates on pushing colour and clarity to the limit, creating mystery and satisfying his own fixation for shining elements. Van Zelm seeks foremost to surprise himself with what he makes; to surprise others - in his own words - would merely make him a clown.
