Dineke Ackema

disegnatrice

Formazione

I followed some courses in the last 14 years but I am autodidact.


Tematiche

I momenti di vita, ma anche la natura e le favole.
Moments of life, nature, fairies but tha last two years I am hooked in drawing the Venetian Masks and the mystic behind those masks.

My nephew, who passed away two years ago was a great master in dralowing. His name is Tjeerd Ackema. He showed me a painting so beautiful, made on transparant plastic. He didnot remember exactly the way he made it. Hou have to practise, so he said. And I started thinking for almost a year. Finally I found the solution and I started with pin-up girls. I paint t hem and then I turn around the image I made. So what you see is an image behind plastic. You can not correct so you have to know what you are doing.

Tecniche

Dei pastelli, matita di pastello, carboncino, matita luminance.

Bibliografia

Since I was a young girl I loved drawing and I still do.
After college I decided to look for a job and earn some money and in the summertime I started working in the North of Italy. I fell in love with this beautiful country right away, at that point I did not realizing this would be my calling through my life.
After that phase, I followed some courses in drawing and studied classical guitar music for a while.
When I reached the age of 55 I quit working at the office and started drawing full time, I took lessons in pastel drawing and that fascinated me, all its possibilities, I was hooked.
The pastel drawings on this site and in the video`s, I hope to give you an idea in the way I work.

I love the mystery of life and try to express this in all of my drawings. There is no beginning and there is no end.

I hope that you like my art and my style of drawing, please feel free to comment and let me know if you are interested and want some more information.
