BIOGRAPHIE Ron Westerweel 

Ron
Westerweel (1954, the Netherlands) painted during his medical studies until
this could no longer be combined. The foundation laid then turned out to be
still there when he picked up painting again in 2016. After a course and
self-study, he started painting full-time with his own studio/gallery at the
historic harbour in Goes from 2020 onwards. He is mainly inspired by the
baroque, great Dutch masters, impressionists, realists and surrealists. You can
actually say, 'pocketing’ everything that suits him. This also applies to the
environment where there is so much to see if you are open to it.

A good
camera is a great tool for this. The old masters didn't have that.

Portraits,
landscapes, animals, a theme or something special from, for example, the
mushroom world. His realistic and partly surrealistic work is characterized by
diversity, colourfulness, theme choices, character and atmosphere with the
appropriate technique for the painting subject. If possible with some humour
and a story behind it.

As
materials he uses acrylic paint, water-mixable oil paint, watercolour,
panpastel / pastels and charcoal.

Ron has
exhibited at several Dutch Art Fairs, the Nationale Kunstdagen, Bubble Art
Project (several European cities), Florence Biennale, Los Angeles Art Show and
galleries.
