Jeroen Sebastiaan Buitenman

Born in Amsterdam 25-11-1973

Autodidact

Surrealism/Realism

Themes: Beauty/ Euphoria/ Feelings/ Modern interpretation of religion.

Material: Preferably oil paint but also acrylic pastel and pen.

Heroes: G. Klimmt/ A. Tadema/ S. Dali/ R. Magritte.

"Search for the representation for feeling, love and religion. Strive at euphoria. It would be wonderful to be able to paint, like the sounds of the violin. Surrealism lets you tell a tal in a synthetic way, arise at the biblical and mythological art of paint. I miss the use of oil paint in contemporary art. A material that has is similar to that violin.

Continous working on the paintings, makes it more exact. By using the paint layer upon layer, it will develop into something brilliant and sensual. The layers of paint will work on, become slightly transparant and therefor overflow.
On average I work three months on a painting, but sometimes as long as 2 years. With a studio full of unfinished paintings you work your way towards an exposition and choose the painting you feel like working with at that precise moment."
