AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Clemens Briels - Paint Your Lips, Maria
In Paint Your Lips, Maria, Spanish for “Stitch your lips, Maria,” the Latin American influence that is so characteristic of Clemens Briels’ work comes through directly. The painting breathes music, rhythm and sensuality, themes he often draws from his fascination with the Caribbean and South America.
With bold colors, dynamic forms and a playful, almost theatrical composition, Briels summons a world full of passion and movement. As in much of his work, he combines figurative elements with fantasy and symbolism. The result is a lively, cosmopolitan image in which color not only gives form but also conveys emotion and story.

As is often the case in his oeuvre, he combines figurative elements with an almost theatrical intensity. The work invites the viewer to reflect on the relationship between life, time and decay, but does so with the energy and visual power that are characteristic of Briels’ art.

Clemens Briels, born in Son in 1946, is a highly sought-after artist both nationally and internationally. His works are included in several renowned art collections, and he was selected as the first Dutch artist to be named “Official Olympic Artist” for the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City in 2002.

Behind Clemens Briels’ artworks lies always a story: small anecdotes from a counter-society. In his own style, Anti-podism, he prefers to depict the opposite of the stereotype. Thus he confronts the viewer with a imaginative look at the everyday.

Inspired by his travels to the Orient, the Caribbean and North and South America, and by Latin American music such as son, mambo and merengue, Briels creates colorful, dynamic works. His art is timeless and cosmopolitan: color is his medium, the story his message.

Dimensions of the work with frame: 94 x 147 cm
Dimensions of the work without frame: 70 x 123 cm

Viewings are, of course, possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary year. We also make use of restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
