Maarten Welbergen

The Art of the Dutch artist Maarten Welbergen (1956) is based on the figurative/realistic tradition but with a contemporary look.

In his so called 'cut-outs' he makes his paintings more vivid and exciting for the eye by cutting out the forms of his objects. In this way his paintings look almost like  3D presentations. His cut-outs starts a dialogue between the paintings and the wall/space where they are hanging or standing.

Maarten paints and draws portraits, nudes, still-lifes, landscapes, townscapes and allegorical works.

Apart from painting he is also making woodcuts and he is a sculptor, sculpting in different stones.

He is teaching Art at the 'Wackers Art-academy in Amsterdam and he organizes painting courses in Czech-republic. Click on ' Maarten Welbergen' and then ' landscape-class.
