It’s all about feeling.
A painters ultimate expression.
A brushstroke is a word.
Many brushstrokes are 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, something that catches her eye, a feeling, but lately she draws a lot of inspiration from nature.
Each artwork is an exploration of form and a translation of the human experience, inspired by impressions of human characters and lately also increasingly by nature.
If the idea is viable, some sketches are made to look for the right balance in composition, values, lines, color and other components. But a lot goes by feel. The painting is leading.
Through a dynamic interplay of shapes, colors and lines, she strives to capture the inexpressible essence of the figure or nature.
Her paintings and drawings are already spread over Europe: Germany, France, Portugal and the Netherlands.
