The vibrant greens of the plant contrast beautifully with the soft, diffused light streaming through the window, creating a serene atmosphere that invites relaxation and contemplation. Théo van rintel is a belgian artist who was born in 1936 in kleine-brogel. He is a self-taught painter. Realized among other things. Flowers, interiors, landscapes from the leie region and the polders, figures, sensual nudes, dune views. Debuted powerfully expressionist, in the style of de smet, permeke, van den berghe and saverijs and then evolved to a more refined expressionism with an impressionist slant. In 1975 he discovered the playful and sunny colors in provence and resolutely went the neo-impressionist way. These works breathe a lyrical atmosphere of green and flowers, of zest for life and summer peace. From the press: “tvr has found his personal style; the secret lies in his colouring that is transparent and yet full of character, sober as the polderland itself”. Dimensions painting: Height: 78 cm.
