AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This work is about love, trust and connection.
You see two figures, large and small. They stand close to each other and look together at a dog. It feels as if they are making a choice together. The work is about trust, openness and choosing love instead of fear.
The dog stands as a symbol of loyalty, protection and unconditional love. He looks back calmly. This creates a moment of calm and balance. No one has control. Everyone watches. Everyone feels.
The work shows that true connection arises when we dare to trust. When we do not look away, but stay standing.
The simplicity of the shapes and the black-and-white colors bring calm. The work is minimalist, yet powerful. It is about being together, growing together and choosing together.
Because of the calm character, this painting fits well in a modern, warm or minimalist interior. It brings softness and a sense of safety into 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.
