Yvonne Michiels
''Julia'' Contemporary Dutch Portrait Painting of a Girl with Black Braids

2024

About the Item

In her art, Yvonne Michiels (1966) depicts personal stories about beauty, emotions and mortality. In order to heighten the emotional charge, Yvonne often uses young models. Their honest innocence and insecurity underscore the major theme of vulnerability in Yvonne’s work. Michiels, originally a photographer, recently picked up a paintbrush again and started painting beautiful, intriguing portraits in soft colors. Michiels says: ''I have always maintained that I leave my work at home on vacation… but now I have changed my mind. After having a wonderful week of brushing up with a master portrait painter in Amsterdam West, my urge to start painting again is growing. Then you come home after a week like that and you are immediately in the flow.. When our vacation in Spain started, I had to put down my brush. Then it so happened that they had a great art supplies shop in a small Spanish village nearby. So I bought an easel, some paint and brushes. And now I am happily painting with the beautiful Spanish light. Not yet knowing how this will turn out. I love my photo art. But it feels good to develop. Let's see how I can translate my theme of vulnerability into paint...''. Yvonne uses topical examples from modern society. This results in aesthetic, innovative portraits that are not only fascinating, but also moving. The viewer is continually challenged to look further, to uncover the dimensions hidden in the work.

''The Crinaeae'' Contemporary Underwater Portrait Painting, Girls in Pool
By Amy Devlin
Located in Utrecht, NL
Amy Devlin portrays people, animals, or nature in her works. But what really matters to her is light and water, which she wants to capture in the form of a physical memory.
