Original artwork description:

Red roofs and golden mustardseed in my Dutch polder.
A polder is a low-lying tract of land that forms an artificial hydrological entity, enclosed by embankments known as dikes.
Every moment is different, every moment is new.
The famous Zeelandic light is always playing a great role, the sea is reflecting it.
I could feel the sky. The movement. The pressure. The unimaginable expanse!
I love how the sky is nearly everything.
The things on earth minimized.

"The landscapes of Van Nieuwenhuijzen are extensive, born from an intense experience of the openness of the Zeeland area. An undertone of mysticism is unmistakable. As if caught in line and color movement continues in the invisible behind the horizon. The accentuated line is both the boundary and the window. The subtle differences in rhythm and nuances reflect a range of emotions.” (K.B)
