Original abstract acrylic painting by Bart Hamelink titled Paint Remembers, created in 2026, hand-signed, unframed, measuring 53 cm high by 155 cm wide, multi-colour acrylic on canvas, 300 g, from the Netherlands, with certificate of authenticity included.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Paint Remembers is an abstract work in which color, layers, and movement are central. The painting consists of multiple transparent and opaque layers of paint that have partly been laid on top of each other. Traces of earlier layers remain visible, as if the paint itself has a memory. That gives the work depth and a subtle layering.

The composition is arranged horizontally and moves from left to right, featuring a play of warm and cool colors such as pink, red, blue, and earth tones. Small circular accents bring rhythm and calm to the whole and invite the viewer to look again and again.

The work is intuitive and fairly spontaneously created, without a fixed final image. The viewer may assign meaning to it themselves: memories, landscapes, music or simply color and energy. It is precisely that openness that makes Paint Remembers a work that continues to engage with the space.

Executed in a contemporary, abstract style with influences from neo-expressionism. The painting fits well in modern, minimalist, and tranquil interiors and adds warmth and character to them.

Seller's Story

Hamelink combines contemporary themes with influences from the past and often works in an energetic, expressive style. He draws inspiration from the tradition of artists such as Herman Brood, who was known for his raw, spontaneous approach, as well as Riek van Iersel, who sought a powerful emotional expression in his work. Hamelink is best known for his paintings and drawings, in which he pushes the boundaries of traditional painting and tackles themes such as identity, culture and social issues. His work can be characterised by a direct, unpolished approach to the medium, which exudes a certain spontaneity and energy. Like Brood and Van Iersel, Hamelink plays with the tension between personal experience and the broader social context, often with a focus on contemporary society. His style is often raw, unfiltered and full of expression, using powerful colours and dynamic shapes that enhance the urgency of his themes. Bart Hamelink seems to bridge the gap between traditional expressive movements and contemporary art with his work, while at the same time critically reflecting on modern times.
