About this artwork
Forms explores the outer limits of composition through seemingly impossible combinations of colour and shape, gradually brought into balance during the painterly process. The work is dominated by assertive abstract forms that, despite their non‑figurative intent, often invite viewers to perceive traces of the figurative. This tension between abstraction and suggestion becomes the core of the piece, revealing how perception continuously negotiates…

« I consider myself as a traveller and observer, expressing my reality and relation with the universe through painting. »
Karel Stoop (b. 1951, Made, Netherlands) is a Dutch abstract painter known for emotionally intuitive, layered compositions. Educated in the Netherlands and Barcelona, his work is shaped by global travels and deep existential inquiry. Stoop paints exclusively in Tarragona, Spain, where he explores themes of transformation, perception, and universal connection. Using oils, pigments, and industrial tools, his process is meditative and performative, guided by intuition over logic. Influenced by Rembrandt, Turner, Tapies, and Barcelo, his work has been exhibited across Europe and collected internationally. He is founder of the International Art Collective and director of GaleriaZero. Stoop is represented by MRK Contemporary (Dubai), HellHeaven Art Gallery (Rome/Miami), Singulart (Paris), and BrissArt Gallery (San Sebastián). His paintings reflect a personal ritual and a universal dialogue through abstraction.
