:About the paintingwork of Rolinka van Zuiden (collector & main artist)

After painting (and collecting) art for decades, making  colorful  rough layered paintings  atracts me the most! Often in contrast with subtle almost myserious parts in combination with that. Often also with metals in the first layer, for example gold!   But also copper, old dried out coffee, sand and other rough materials will often be used in the first layers of my paintings. With in the last layer luxurious well pigmented oilpaint! This is to assure those shiny bright colors, that people love so much, to stay! 

My other favorite subject: semi-abstract flowers, become almost sculptural this way! One could say my history as a sculptor becomes visible this way.. Obvious most paintings are somehow  inspired by nature, also my faith gives a deeper meaning in what I portray. Light that shines through the darkness, for example, what gives the painting a deeper spiritual meaning. 

But my figures or birds as said are not always directly seen, they are often a bit hidden giving the viewer a surprise from time to time...You could say my work is diverse, and indeed, I do not like to repeat myself. Over the years many of these paintings found their way to art-collectors  and homes around the world.  More about previous  "Expositions" can be read in the summery  about that. Most availble work is now to be seen in the Schagchelstraat in haarlem. Also a place for creative people to meet, work sometimes together and inspire each other! Hope to see you soon!

My work has also been shown a few times on a dutch television-show.. For example: Once I was making paintings and sculptures in a show with the theme "Angels" on the NCRV and another time it was about a painting of Hippo's (shown al day at "Noord-Holland-tv). This painting was sold on the benefit and protection of these animals in (what was then called) Zimbabwe... A lot of publicity was made about this in the press! But as been said earlier; nowadays most paintings are seen and sold in my own gallery..
