Biography:
ESCHA VAN DEN BOGERD
Escha van den Bogerd e nata a Den Haag, in Olanda, dove ha frequentato la Rudolf Steiner, una scuola con molte materie artistiche come la pittura, il disegno e la storia dell'arte. Terminata la scuola, ha seguito molti corsi d'arte in giro per l'Europa, a Firenze (Italia), Salisburgo (Austria) e in Olanda stessa.
Escha utilizza un metodo di pittura nel quale l'astrazione e le immagini figurate si combinano rafforzando il loro effetto. E' un'artista di eccezionale intensita le cui astrazioni dinamiche e poetiche, i nudi e i volti, dimostrano profonda sensibilita e grande forza emozionale.
Vitale nei dettagli e brillante nei colori, i suoi dipinti in acrilico irradiano un'aura di spiritualita, che ricorda il Medio Oriente e l'Oriente, sebbene le caratteristiche formali sono da ricercare nella tradizione contemporanea Europea.
Il suo primo dipinto e stato venduto a Kitzbuehel, in Austria, dove ha vissuto e lavorato per 3 inverni.
Ha viaggiato per molto tempo in posti come il Medio Oriente, gran parte dell'Asia, Europa, Australia, Nuova Zelanda e Stati Uniti. E in Nuova Zelanda che ha incontrato David, con il quale vive da 4 anni alternandosi tra l'Europa e la Nuova Zelanda stessa. Li ha partecipato a esposizioni in alcune gallerie, a cui sono ne seguite altre in Giappone, Europa e Stati Uniti.
Sono previste nel 2005 esposizioni a Ginevra (Svizzera) e in Olanda.'

The use of wash like technique adds drama and warmth, vibrancy and great emotional power with femininity and sensitivity
A refreshing combination of traditional figurative painting in a contemporary style influenced by the many countries she has visited.
Her main inspiration comes from the old masters that create a beautiful sense of light in their work and places such as Venice, Florence, and the Middle East.
She is an artist of exceptional intensity whose dynamic and poetic abstraction faces and figurative display profound sensitivity and a great emotional power.
Vital in attack and detail and brilliant in colour her energetically composed acrylic paintings radiate an aura of spirituality, which suggests the Middle East and Italian influences, although their formal characteristics are wholly in the contemporary European tradition.
