About the Item

David van der Linden 'Confidence' 60 x 60 cm ( Framed in black wooden frame, included in price, 70 x 70 cm) Oil on canvas 2024 Artist David van der Linden has a hard time to paint free works. Because after he participated in a Dutch television program to paint to portrait of a Dutch journalist he works hard to do portrait commissions from all over. In his free works he likes to tell stories of young man reflecting on themselves, watching a mirror, watching the viewer. David about his work: As a former psychologist and teacher, I love interpreting someone's character in a work. My free work has now been sold worldwide. I find that extremely honorable. There is work in the United States, Australia, Germany, Belgium and the United Kingdom and of course throughout the Netherlands. I look for the subject of my free paintings close to myself. When I am touched by something, a text from books, music, statements, an experience, a moment, basically anything can be a reason for a painting. For me, that has always meant that people are part of the work I make. I believe all people are beautiful and intrinsically good. I like to show this positive image of humanity in my work. In addition, I think there is nothing more beautiful than being uninhibited, pure, honest and being yourself. This 'being yourself' is something I show in my work. In addition, the moving aspect of a powerful and strong body is certainly also a source of inspiration for me. Besides that, I like to paint 'movement'. Running or the racing bike is often central. Not coincidentally, that is also what I prefer to do for some time every day since my earliest youth and now, in addition to my work in the gallery and painting. We ship worldwide for free in a custom made wooden crate.

By Kelly Birkenruth
Located in Denver, CO
Kelly Birkenruth's "Adam" (2024) is an original oil painting on panel, measuring 14 x 11 x 2 inches. This striking artwork features the detailed portrayal of a male torso, emphasizing the muscular structure and the subtle interplay of light and shadow on the skin. The background’s soft, muted tones contrast beautifully with the lifelike depiction of the subject, highlighting Birkenruth’s technical skill and artistic vision. The painting is framed, with overall dimensions of 15 x 12 inches, enhancing its elegant presentation. Known for her ability to capture the human form with both realism and sensitivity, Birkenruth's "Adam" is a compelling addition to any art collection. Kelly Birkenruth’s captivating paintings are in the style of contemporary realism while staying firmly grounded in the tradition of the Old Masters. She is able to pull the viewer into her paintings by interweaving emotion with a humanistic quality through her supreme handling of light. Through her portraits and still lifes she is able to evoke sensitivity and empathy, which in turn allows her to create images which transcend mere representation to capture the true essence of her subject. Kelly’s arresting compositions, draftsmanship, use of color and observation of detail allow her to create paintings with a timeless quality.
