In our search for a painting that suited us, we found a lot of inspiration but it was all just not there. We knew Andrea but didn't know her well enough as an artist. We were tipped off to go and talk to Andrea and in the conversations with Andrea we indicated what our wishes were, Andrea complemented that well.

Because we have a lot of natural colors in our house we wanted something bright and abstract. People were allowed on it but not recognizable or reducible. A fun anecdote is that we had a bowl with a red-orange color, one of the colors that definitely had to be present in the painting. Andrea took that dish and used it for the color schemes.

That's how we started the adventure with Andrea. Andrea indicated that it was out of her comfort zone, but wanted to make it. During the creation of the painting, we went back to look at it and based on our reactions, Andrea continued. Andrea was given the freedom to fully incorporate her inspirations into the painting. 

The result is beautiful, Andrea really surprised us with the end result and we are very happy with it. It has been given a prominent place in our living room. We get a lot of good reactions to the painting.

We are proud of it and Andrea should certainly be proud of the result as well.

Thanks Andrea

I commissioned this painting for a very nice couple from Amsterdam. They were very charmed by the Art Print Interface and their commission was: 'We want a painting with Interface as a starting point, but then translated to our house, interior and the corresponding color palette. They live in a great mansion in the heart of Amsterdam with high ceilings and an ensuite room. Because of Corona, we had to do things a little differently this time. I did a test painting first, to see if the wishes and my work matched. After this approval we sent many messages and I always took pictures of the work. In this way this painting came about in consultation. Fortunately Gerben and Nelleke are very happy with it and it hangs beautifully in their home.

Art at the Nursery

When I was expecting my daughter and was already decorating the baby's room in my head, I knew that there had to be art by Mom. I love her work immensely so I was sure it would be exactly what I wanted. Even before I got pregnant, I knew Mom was toying with the idea of painting animals, but much more abstract than usual. This idea really appealed to me.

When I knew what colors the baby's room should be I passed it on immediately. I wanted a leopard in my daughter's room. The Chi-Tah was therefore designed especially for her, in exactly the colors that I passed on. In the end it became a series of three that I really like. Tough because the animals are abstract and sweet because of the colors. They fit perfectly in her room.

On January 7, mom became, grandma to Olivia. The Chi-Tah became the front of her birth card. Inside the card, G-Raff was also featured. Olivia is now 9 weeks old and is starting to take a good look at the Art Prints. She finds them very interesting, which is probably due to the contrast and use of color. Every evening now we wish all the animals goodnight.

I'm getting really positive feedback on the birth announcement and on the Art Prints in Olivia's room. They are not the "standard" animals you see on many posters. It's really something special!

Thanks mom!

Love, Denise
