About the Item
This painting is on the cover of my book: Precious bodies
Francien Krieg, a contemporary Dutch artist, gives a new dimension to figurative painting with her penetrating and unfiltered portraits. Krieg, who received her art education at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague, has an oeuvre celebrated both nationally and internationally. Her works illuminate the unpolished beauty of the human body, with a particular emphasis on aging skin and the vulnerability that comes with it.
In a world obsessed with youth and traditional beauty standards, Krieg chooses the unusual and often avoided subject: old age. She shows us the beauty in the reality of life, the wrinkles, the scars, and the stories that make each body unique. Her canvases are a tapestry of humanity, where the traces of life are not only visible but also celebrated.
Krieg's art is not only a study of the physical but also a profound exploration of the psychological state of her subjects. Her portraits are often penetrating and intimate, with eyes that gaze directly at the viewer, forming a silent dialogue. This interaction draws the viewer into the painting, encouraging them to reflect on their own perceptions of beauty and impermanence.
Her technique, with rich textures and subtle color nuances, brings forth the vulnerability and strength of her models. With each brushstroke, she captures not only their physical presence but also their emotional resonance. Francien Krieg's work is an invitation: to look beyond the surface, to read the deeper stories written in the folds of our skin.
The works of Francien Krieg are a reminder that true beauty resides in the authenticity of our existence, an authenticity that deepens with each new line of life. In a society increasingly dominated by filtered realities, Krieg brings us back to what is real—and thereby, what is truly beautiful.
