AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Color usage:
The base color in this work is Titanium Buff Dark (Titanbuff Dark), as indicated on the paint pot used (see detail photo). This pigment gives the work its warm, soft off-white appearance with natural depth.
This work is inspired by the book The 7 Letters by Tina de Bruin, in which themes such as connection, vulnerability and human closeness are central. That inspiration is translated into three figures that stand next to each other: different in shape and character, but unmistakably connected with one another.
The painting isn't about perfection or equality, but about belonging. About the quiet moment when you feel that connection sometimes arises on its own, without explanation or words. That very tension between the individual and the group lies at the heart of this work.
The style is deliberately kept simple: strong black lines, a calm yet warm off-white background, and subtle gray tones. This keeps the focus entirely on the figures and their relationship.
Color and photos:
In the mood photos where the artwork is hanging on the wall, the color may differ slightly due to lighting and surroundings.
In the photo where the painting is lying on the floor, the color appears most true to life.
The close-up photo of the paint used provides an even more realistic impression of the tones.
The interior images are mood images and are intended to show how the work can look in a space.
The work is delivered:
Without a spieraam (due to high transport costs and lower risk of damage)
With a certificate of authenticity
Includes atmospheric and detail photos.
Unique, handmade work of art — one of a kind.

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.
