I'm Ineke Tijsseling, born in the east of Holland (1963) in a very creative artistic family.

Married, mother (in law) and grandmother of a beautiful little girl.

Educated as a nurse but I decided at the end of 2013 to follow my other passion, painting.

Soon I had my first exhibition and my painting is auctioned for a charity in Holland.

So thankful for that!

 

That painting with an an Italian touch is placed as a Cover-Photo by an Italian online art-site.

What a wonderful compliment!

 

Beautiful exhibitions are offered to me including HiltonParisOrly where two of my artworks were recently seen.

Also a gallery in LaagKeppel (a town in my neighbourhood) selects my art for their project and on assignment I can make five big paintings in my own style.

Happy me!

 

My preference is painting with acrylic paint, with my hands.

I rarely use a brush when I make a work of art.

My work is layered and is characterized by a lot of texture. Natural colors but also pastels are favorite.

 

I get inspiration everywhere.

Beautiful papers; the everyday life on the street; nature and graphics can be an inspiration for me to create a work of art.

Even though a plan in the painting process can get a complete turn of both color and appearance.

But that's never a problem.
