About The Artwork
Karin Vermeer is an independent artist who has lived and worked in Rotterdam since 2002. She was born in Tilburg in 1970, where she went to Fashion school until she was accepted at the Willem the Kooning Academie in Rotterdam in 1990 and got her degree in Illustration in 1994. After working as a freelance Illustrator and Decorator for a couple of years, it was time to start as an independent artist creating paintings and murals. Fashion and female portraits have always been her main interests, even as a little girl, constantly looking into glossy fashion. She was fascinated by the way these beautiful models were portrayed but also found it disturbing how unrealistic it was the way these pictures were manipulated. That is what started her interest in mixing up photographs digitally and manually. The raw structured landscapes are a new original series made from pictures I took during my travels in and outside Holland. Last summer, my family and I went on holiday to Brittany, where we visited the town of Saint-Malou on July 14. You could walk there on the beautiful city walls, and slowly, the water from the beach disappeared. Beautiful rock formations and lots of rock emerged, so beautiful that I couldn’t stop taking photos. When I got home, I started working on this painting based on the pictures I took that day. Edited with Gel medium, oil paint, acrylic paint, and a semi-gloss varnish. Artwork is created by combining photography, digital editing, and painting due to the layered structure and vibrant colors. It almost seems as if this work comes to life when you stand in front of it. You can lose yourself in the details. The effect is practically 3D. I created this piece by hand on a high-quality wood panel with a satin coating. Ready to ship worldwide by professionals.

After working as a freelance Illustrator and Decorator for a couple of years, it was time to start as an independent artist creating paintings and murals. Fashion and female portraits have always been her main interest, even when she was a little girl, constantly looking into glossy fashion. She was fascinated by the way these beautiful models were portrayed but also found it disturbing how unrealistic it was the way these pictures were manipulated. That is what started her interest in mixing up photographs digitally and manually. My works are created by digitally combining and editing photographs and paintings into new, original works of art. My favorite subject is the female face. I specialize in portraits created by overlaying and blending different pictures of different people to create unique, non-existing persons. Besides that, I take pictures of models in my studio and create new images mixed with old walls, grunge posters, and other exciting elements. When the digital part is ready, I print the image and start painting it. I create thick structures and a lot of layers of paint and gel over them. In this way, I try to make the digital image tangible again. My work is not about explanation and concept. It is a game to me about triggering the senses. I start with no idea in general, but by looking at pictures that interest me and mixing them, a new image slowly evolves. I mix prints, paint, gel medium, and a math/gloss coating with most of these works. I create paintings by hand; they are originals individually, slightly different in editions of max. 25 pieces.
