AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This work is about freeing yourself from your fear.
On the left, you see a big, dark beast. It represents fear, doubts, and the voice in your head that keeps you small. It may seem big and dangerous, but it's really only in your own mind.
On the right stands a figure who stays beside it. He doesn't walk away. He looks at it. On the painting there are words like “FREE”, “FREE THE BEAST” and “YOUR MIND”. The message is clear: fear only diminishes when you face it head-on.
The vivid colors, rough lines, and street-art vibe give the work power and energy. It feels raw, honest, and direct. It's about growth, courage, and freedom. About the moment you stop running away and choose to free yourself.
Due to its large size, this is a real eye-catcher in a modern, industrial, or creative interior. It brings color, energy, and a positive message to a space.

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.
