Peter van Oostzanen is a Dutch artist who draws and paints in a style related to magic realism. Born in Leiden on February 25, 1962, he grew up with a fascination for drawing and nature. After completing his training as a master painter at Nimeto in Utrecht, he worked for many years as a decorator at Hypsos. In 1992, his life changed after a serious bicycle accident, which resulted in brain injury and whiplash. A fellow artist invited him to paint in his studio, and this is how Van Oostzanen began to seriously paint with oil.

His work is characterized by a combination of classical painting techniques and modern elements. He draws inspiration from surrealists like Salvador Dali and magic realists such as Carel Willink and Pyke Koch. His paintings create a sense of alienation by placing everyday objects and situations in new and often impossible contexts, while still appearing realistic. Van Oostzanen exhibits both nationally and internationally, and his work can be found in public collections and private collections.

His works blend reality and fantasy in a believable way. He has lived and worked in Bergen, North Holland, since 1997, where the sea and water serve as an inspiration for his creations.

Guy De Jaegher (1944, Kortrijk) is a prominent contemporary fine painter known for his object naturalism and exceptionally precise craftsmanship. He is renowned for an impressive series of still lifes. In his youth, he attended the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Kortrijk and later studied graphic arts and calligraphy at the famous Saint Luke’s Institute in Tournai.

Guy De Jaegher’s motto, borrowed from William Blake, is: “For Art & Science cannot exist but in minutely organised Particulars, In Poetry, every word and every letter must be studied. In Painting, every line and stroke. In Love, every minute particular is Holy.”

Peter van Berkel is een Nederlandse kunstschilder, geboren in 1956 in Rotterdam. Hij staat bekend om zijn prachtige zeegezichten en landschappen. Van Berkel vestigde zich in Zeeland, waar hij werd geïnspireerd door het Zeeuwse landschap, de vergezichten, de luchten en het water. Zijn werk wordt gekenmerkt door een impressionistische stijl, waarbij elke penseelstreek zorgvuldig is geplaatst om een harmonieuze compositie te creëren.

Naast Zeeland vindt Van Berkel ook veel inspiratie in Frankrijk, met name in de Provence en Normandië. Hij reist vaak met zijn schildersezel en schetsboek door Zuid-Europa om nieuwe landschappen vast te leggen. Zijn schilderijen stralen een duidelijk plezier en liefde voor de natuur uit, wat zijn werk een grote aantrekkingskracht geeft

Heleen Hobelman is a talented artist born in Wisch, the Netherlands, in 1971. She has a clear vision of art: it must be more than just decoration. Art should play a subtle leading role in the interior, not merely serve as an addition or ornament. Heleen’s work impacts the viewer and evokes joy. Her paintings are based on the technique of the old masters, where she paints layer upon layer and glazes with paint thinned with stand oil and turpentine.

Heleen is known for her large paintings with simple subjects, which are so detailed and hyper-realistic that they impress the viewer. Each encounter with her work is a quiet enjoyment, a still life celebration. Her style is best described as modern realism.

Heleen began her painting journey in 1998 with a course from a colleague of her husband. After a break of several years, she decided to resume painting in 2004. Since then, she has created impressive works that reflect her unique vision of art.

In addition to being an artist, Heleen is also the gallery owner of ‘Galerie Goeie Genade’.
