Realist Contemporary Still-Life Painting 'Trio of Apples' by Barbara Vanhove

About the Item

'Trio of Apples' by Barbara Vanhove is an exceptional still-life painting. You can almost pick up the apples to eat them, such is the detail with which they have been painted. Barbara Vanhove is a contemporary still life artist and is renowned for her unique still life paintings. Barbara was born in Watermael Boitsfort, Belgium, on the 12th of February 1974.She grew up with artistic aspirations and at a young age, she enrolled herself into painting and drawing classes that would form the foundation for her career as an artist. She graduated from the Bischoffsheim Institute in Belgium, before spending several years as a set painter in the theatre as well as working on large murals for the Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brussels. Barbara then became a pupil of the Master Willem Dolphyn of Antwerp. Over the course of her four years spent absorbing his knowledge and techniques, she managed to develop her creative talents and her own style. Barbara's still life paintings are inspired from the old masters of the seventeenth century. Her work tends towards an idealized realism via noble subjects. Her paintings show her talent in the way she renders reflections and in the quality of reproduction of the surface of her objects. The way in which she uses light and shade is truly remarkable, conveying her poetic emotions via the beauty that she perceives in objects. Her work has been shown in exhibitions in Belgium, London and various international fairs. She currently lives and works in Belgium.

About the artist: "Upon first glance, viewers might think Daniel's works are photographs because of their stunningly realistic elements. However, the longer we look at one of his paintings, the more we become aware that they are anything but a part of our world. We encounter Sprick's paintings not so much as statements, but more as experiences, whereby we engage deeply with his creativity. - Timothy J.
