« Says a Chinese proverb: "There are three things necessary for a good painting, Eye, Hand and Heart." »
Dutch artist Jonker Mieke started her creative career as a goldsmith, but was inspired to start painting after viewing Rembrandt's portrait of Haesje van Cleyburgh. Mieke's exquisite portraits and interiors are created to give the viewer a good feeling, and this sentiment shines through her work, which is impressive yet intimate. She uses various transparent oil paints to produce her pieces, with a strong composition and complementary use of color. This creates artworks that are dynamic and yet serene.
