Evert Van Bommel (1931) - "los Olivos" [the Olive Trees]

Oil on canvas. Original canvas. Titled, signed, and dated. Born in The Hague in 1931 and trained in the halls of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts there, Evert van Bommel established himself as a legitimate heir to the noblest lineage of Dutch painting, sharing ancestral roots with the purity of Mondrian and the passion of Van Gogh. His creative spirit was ignited by the CoBrA group, drawing inspiration from the chromatic freedom of Appel and Jorn. After a brilliant career as an art director and international designer, he devoted himself entirely to painting at the beginning of the new millennium. Settled on the sun-drenched Costa del Sol, Van Bommel transmutes his Nordic heritage into a vibrant contemporary pictorial style, where the rigor of the graphic design and the spontaneity of the gesture merge into a masterful synthesis, consolidating a career which, in itself, constitutes a luminous bridge between the tradition of the great masters and the audacity of the European avant-garde. - Image dimensions without frame: 100 x 100 cm / 102 x 103 cm with exclusive custom frame.
