About Niek Haenen

At childhood, drawing animals was one of my greatest hobbies. After gradueting at the Famous Artist School, at this school I have learned to work with various materials. Out of this materials I close the oil paint for my  paintings. I have been staying for a few years painting and them I stopped with it. About 15 years later I went again painting, these paintings give a surreal image And would can play in another part of the cosmos.  Through the insects in relationship with the background I try it colorful and the whimsical things that "still" exist in nature to paint. The insects have always captivated me, photography the insects is one of my biggest hobbies. I use the pictures to show my insects as naturally as possible.
