It’s all about feeling.
A painters ultimate expression.
A brushstroke is a word.
Many brushstrokes reveal a story.
Thea Booijink has born in the Netherlands, nowadays living and working in the Algarve. She used to make figurative work but lately her work became more and more abstract.
As a self-taught artist navigating the realms of abstract and figurative art, her work serves as a testament to the intuitive expressions that come from within.
Her artistic journey, marked by self-discovery and continuous creativity, reveals a visual language that speaks to the connections between abstraction and the tangible world.
Inspiration
Her inspiration comes from everywhere but especially from nature. On her endless walks through the Algarvian hills with her dog Estrela she gets every time new ideas and possibilities for new work.
If the idea is viable, some sketches are made to look for the right balance in composition, values, lines, colour and other components. But a lot goes by feel. The painting is leading. Each artwork is an exploration of form and a translation of this experience, inspired by the multiple impressions.
Through a dynamic interplay of shapes, colours and lines, she strives to capture the inexpressible essence.
Her paintings and drawings are spread over Europe: Germany, France, Portugal and the Netherlands.
