About this artwork
This large‑format abstract oil painting unfolds as an exploration of light, movement, and time. Dynamic, semi‑recognizable forms emerge and dissolve across the canvas, creating a shifting sense of three‑dimensionality that unsettles any fixed perception of temporal flow. Through this interplay, the work reflects on identity as something equally fluid—constructed, deconstructed, and continuously reshaped by the traces of what has been and what is…
yet to come.

« 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.
