\"Jolanda<\/a>Jolanda van der Elst is an artist from the Netherlands that enjoys capturing the world in brightly colored art pieces. Art was a substantial part of this artist\u2019s childhood when she could often be found drawing or creating illustrations. It was her dream to be a children\u2019s book author, but she chose a more sensible career. \u00a0After working in law for many years, Van der Elst found the opportunity to pursue her art as a career. One that she has found to be both profitable and fulfilling. Now she teaches art, illustrates children\u2019s books, and paints original works of art for sale.<\/p>\n

Her work is a brighter interpretation of realism, where the details are enhanced by her color palette. Jolanda Van der Elst primarily paints with oils and pastels but also likes to add gold and silver embellishments. She finds her inspiration in nature, people and fashion. It is her intention to create pleasant images, not to shock the audience. By using familiar subjects, but presenting them with such joyful colors and in unusual layouts, Van der Elst provides her fans with something to make them smile.<\/p>\n

Shop the Inspiration<\/h4>\n

In her print gallery<\/a>, we have examples of the many subjects she captures in her art. There are beautiful examples of color found in nature such as Waterlily<\/em><\/a> and Sunflowers<\/em><\/a>. The cozy garden setting provided in Red Shoes Gardening<\/em><\/a>. Van der Elst\u2019s fascination with fashion and the designers who create it is displayed in unique pieces such as Hommage to Dior 1956<\/em><\/a>, Hommage to Courreges 1965<\/em><\/a>, and Hommage to Chenel 1960<\/em><\/a>. She takes the aesthetic of fashion without a wearer even further in pieces like Just Jeans<\/em><\/a> and Biker Jacket<\/em><\/a>. More recently Van der Elst has begun to look to Japanese Geisha\u2019s for inspiration and created works like Daydreaming<\/em><\/a> and Playing in the Shamisen<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In each of these pieces, she utilizes colors that are brighter than they would be in real life to capture the imagination and provide a childlike wonder. Her skills as a children\u2019s book illustrator can be seen in the unique perspectives she provides, such as the invisible figures wearing the clothes, or the humorous details such as red shoes on a figure. Let your own imagination run wild as you explored the work of this amazing new artist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
