Cor Schaap (1968) - Strandgezicht

Cor Schaap is a Dutch painter, born in 1968 in Katwijk aan Zee. Growing up in a fishing family he has had from an early age a strong connection to the sea and the Dutch coast. This environment remains an important source of inspiration for his work to this day. His versatile oeuvre ranges from traditional impressionism to expressionism, in which he continually experiments with color, light, composition and brushwork. His work spans tranquil coastal landscapes to powerful, expressive representations.

Increasingly, art lovers, also outside the Netherlands, are drawn to his work. His paintings attract international interest, particularly his personal interpretation of light, color and atmosphere. In his seascapes Schaap not only captures the landscape, but above all the experience of a day by the sea. With lively brushwork and a rich use of color, he brings to life the interplay of sky, water, sand and movement. His paintings breathe the atmosphere of the Dutch coast and show how a familiar landscape can be reinterpreted each time, from impressionistic and serene to strong and expressive. Cor Schaap is a contemporary artist with a versatile oeuvre and growing international interest.
