Untitled - Nanouk Beljaars

Well, I kept thinking this drawing needed something extra. But now I’ve got it hanging on my door for a few weeks, I know it doesn’t. This drawing is finished, it’s done, it’s as good as it gets ;)

Up to the next one…

The Dark and the Light – Friends?

Posted on March 20, 2015 by noekkeon

The Dark and the Light - Friends

Another one from the Dark and the Light, called ‘Friends?’. I think this series is complete now. You can see it on nanoukbeljaars.nl if you like. I’m not sure yet what it’s going to be. It could be a sort of book, because it’s definitely telling a story.
But I could also print them bigger, but they’re taken on my i-phone so they will probably be pixelated. I think I’ll like that sort of distortion, but I’ll have to try it out first.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

This one is by me, from my new  series of photographs The Dark and the Light. I guess everyone knows what this is about, dark/light, good/bad, big changes in your life and you don’t know yet where it’s going. Is it gonna be for better or for worse? Probably for the best!

Hunger

Nanouk Beljaars

A few years ago when I was still in art school I made a drawing of a pregnant woman with the head of a bird.
Now I’m pregnant myself I kept thinking about that drawing. I’ve always wanted to make a bigger drawing or a painting of it.
This is the first stage of the painting. I am using a palette knife instead of a paint brush. I am trying to make my paintings less clean, less stiff. I think the palette knife helps with this.

Snow

Posted on February 26, 2013 by noekkeon

Nanouk Beljaars

This photograph reminds me of old weathered photographs of the 19th century. It looks like I used some sort of filter in Photoshop, but I didn’t. It’s the falling snow that gives this effect. I would like to make more of them, but it doesn’t snow that often around here. This could very well be the last snow this winter.

Something to look forward to next winter…

I am making a lot of photographs of trees and water lately. I really love to photograph winter this year. Not snow especially, but bare trees , dark water, mud. But let’s stick with the snow theme today:
