About Mark de Kievit
Biography
Hi!
Thank you for finding me on Artfinder... :)
Mark de Kievit: I am a contemporary abstract artist based in Arnhem, the Netherlands.
My art drive is my fascination with the interaction between textures and shapes, colors and light. I create in a state of
“…busy processing life”.
That sounds pretty mindful, and it actually is. Just like in everyday life, transience and the moment are central to the process and techniques I apply.
My style can be characterized by a strong use of colors with contrasting depths built up in layers. Vivid, subtle and vigorous.
The process of creating relief with various textures, colors, and plenty of water and heat results in unique and unpredictable visuals. Timing in the mixing process is crucial, leading to a great variety of effects. Combining paint and water results in engaging patterns and depths. This art form requires patience, practice, and a good understanding of the properties of the materials which took me about 10 years to master. The process of creating relief with liquid materials demands spontaneity and intuition, where I respond to the changing textures and colors as they develop.
Have a colorful day, Mark de Kievit
