About this artwork

My assignment was to paint a memory of a Dutch village on an island as a farewell gift for someone in South Africa. 'DIRKSLAND FROM THE POLDER - LANDSCAPE 2.19' is the title. The ploughed field, the grassland further away, the horizon with the church tower just visible and a fascinating play of clouds in the blue sky. In addition, and also because of the colour variations in contrast with each other and the multitude of structures and textures...… I was emotionally touched. From this passion 'to be able to depict something of this beauty' I painted this landscape with long brushes and a putty knife. A qualitative and original work of art appeals to the imagination and will never bore you in your living environment.

After growing up in an artistic family and studying at various academies, Foke Stribos became fascinated by Beauty (emotion), Truth (liveable reality) and tangible and visible Nature, which he depicts in his various works with oil and acrylic paint, sand and glitter on canvas, cardboard and prints. He uses various techniques, from brush strokes to knife applications and creates surface textures. This oeuvre is often at the crossroads of figurative and non-figurative. I derive my motifs and subjects from reality, but I always transform them while painting. And in such a way that a new, pictorial reality often emerges during the far-reaching abstraction. The focused search for precise proportions, the right rhythm and finding original colour schemes are the pillars of his fascinating oeuvre. "My passionate compositions evoke emotional connections with deep-rooted philosophical and Biblical ideas!"
