Original artwork description:

Karin Vermeer is known for her unique mixed-media portraits that show a powerful combination of different materials and techniques. Her work often incorporates painting, collage, and digital editing, giving each picture a dynamic and layered appearance. The portraits usually radiate emotion and depth, with Vermeer using colour and texture to capture the personality of the subjects. Her style can range from abstract to more realistic representations, sometimes adding unexpected elements. In addition, the interaction between the different materials plays an important role. The combination of traditional and modern techniques gives her work a contemporary look while at the same time referring to classical portrait art. It also captures the essence of her subjects, giving her portraits a solid visual impact.
