Artist StatementMy work is a celebration of classical realism infused with contemporary sensitivity. After a fulfilling 13-year career in architecture, I shifted to the fine arts, continued to study Entrepreneurship, and majoring in art history. This background fuels my passion for structured composition, light, and classical painting techniques. Working primarily in oil painting techniques, I aim to capture both the physical and emotional texture of still life, wildlife, and portraiture. Inspired by the Old Masters, I build layers of luminous color to bring depth and vitality to my subjects often drawn from natural heritage and fleeting light.
Workshops My practice is based in the Netherlands, where I have established an oil painting studio school namely Tonkinson Art masters.
Collectons My work can be found in private collections and has been shown at international as well as local art fairs, throughout Europe. Including Radio Kootwijk and the Gooi district. , and is held in private collections across South Africa, Europe, USA, UK and Scotland. |
