AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This original artwork by Bart Hamelink revolves around connection, waiting, and real encounter. Themes that recur in his work: humanity, vulnerability, and the longing to be truly seen.
In the artwork, two figures are depicted, each carrying their own path and energy. Through the raw lines, playful shapes, and bold color fields, a tension arises between distance and proximity. The figures appear simple, almost childlike, yet they carry an adult emotional charge. They tell a story about patience, truth, and the moment when people truly meet each other.
In the artwork, the text is literally incorporated, which is part of the image and reinforces the meaning:
*“An ugly man searches for a woman.
Not for beauty,
but for truth and patience.
She is elsewhere.
He is already waiting.
When they are tested together,
he falls first —
not from weakness,
but from arrival.”*
The artwork is shipped without a stretcher.
(this is due to the high transport costs and to reduce the risk of damage)
Includes a certificate of authenticity.
The interior photos shown are ambience images illustrating a potential presentation.

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.
