About this artwork
Refuge is a large-scale abstract painting, measuring 2 x 2 meters, created with natural pigments, linseed oil, and oil bars. The work was developed through an intuitive process, where spontaneous gesture and controlled composition meet. Stoop respects the invisible structures that guide our perception, yet deliberately attempts to move beyond them. In doing so, the painting does not simply present a visual balance but opens the possibility of a wider,…
mental landscape.

« 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.
