Ada Breedveld - Mother with child

Ada Breedveld (1944) considers life as her school. She wanted to become an artist from a young age and did not attend an academy or course. Working from her studio in Amsterdam, she brings her art into the world. A fantasy and colorful collection of paintings with cheerful images. About work In the seventies, Ada Breedveld started exhibiting. Surrealism fascinated her, an art movement in which not visible reality, but fantasy from our deepest inner self should be the starting point for art. Along the way, she found her own characteristic style and theme: the imposing and present 'Woman'. That Woman, colorful, dancing, with a glass in her hand and birds around her in the air, is the ultimate bon vivant. This Woman forms the central point in many of her works of art and it makes Breedveld's art very recognizable. Her works of art show something unreal, a dream, full of feeling and experience. Ada Breedveld herself says: 'I have been painting my whole life. The brush is an extension of my emotional life. With it I can express myself in the most optimal way. The material gives me the challenge to create a world that gives the illusion of reality. A reality that does not really exist, but is experienced as such. Like in a dream, the unreal is experienced as real.'
