About Motoko Huysveld
Experience
I have been working as a proffessional artist for over 20 years, speciallizing in oil, acrylic, watercolours and mixed media paintings.
My works have been featured in several galleries and exhibitions in France, Japan and Italy.
I have studied Arts in London, world famous Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design (Byam Shaw), The City & Guilds of London Art School, Camden School of Arts (now renamed as Hampstead School of Arts), which Henri Moore was one of the key founder.
During my courses in Fine Art Degree, licens and Diploma in the above schools, my major interest was fast developing towards modern arts.
My curiosities in other cultures and art forms were also a source of inspiration.
I have experimented with Photography as well, primarily with natural themes.
Painting Style and Process
My work is influenced by the vibrant colours of nature and textures, as well as the emotions and experiences that we all share. I strive to creat pieces that are both visually stunnung and emotionally impactful.
My art style is heavily influenced by nature and the beauty of the world around us. Both its dynamic and delicate fragility of nature which is still full of mystery is what astonish me and keep me interested to learn more about our nature ! It keeps me surprised in wonder all the time !!
I strive to capture the essence of my subjects and bring them to life on canvas.
My work is also influenced by my travels and the cultures I have experienced.
My art style is characterized by bold colours, fluid lines, and a sense of movement. I love to experiment with different mediums and techniques.
I begin each pieces with a vision in mind, but allow the materials and my instincts to guide me as I work. I believe that the process of creating art work should be just as fulfilling as the finished piece. I am a firm believer in the power of experiment and play in the artistic process.
I love the variety of painterly effect that can be achieved through colour, texture and freedom of expression in spontaneity and improvisation as the work develop into its own.
Philosophy
I believe that art has the power to heal, inspire, and transform. My goal as an artist is to create work that not only looks beautiful, but also resonates with the viewer on a deeper level. Perhaps it may provide few moments to forget things that might be a load on their mind.
Having grown up in both the Far East and in the West, I came to appreciate many different forms of Arts; Japanese Prints, Sumie, Ukiyo-e, Byobu art, Fusuma-e, Zen art, Religious Art, Calligraphy Art of the Far East, and Action Paintings, Abstract Expressionism, Lyrical Abstraction, Tachism, Fauvism and French Impressionism among many other form from the Western Art. To mention several artists I particularly appreciate : Turner, Kandinsky, Matisse, Pollock, Mondrian, Soulages and Zao Wou-ki among many others.
I do enjoy working in automatism approach, leaving much of the original energy created by spontaneity, similar ways of working in creating oriental calligraphy or action paintings.
I appreciate both expressive and contemplative nature of some of the arts mentioned above, particularly Zen arts, Religious arts, Sumi-e and oriental, calligraphy.
