Stephanie van der Klooster’s original acrylic painting *XL- Into the Air* (2026) is a signed, expressive depiction of a figure merging with its surroundings, measuring 100 × 140 cm.
Description from the seller
In this painting, I wanted to create a sense of movement, particularly through the flowing lines of the hair. I like the idea of a figure becoming part of its surroundings, where the boundaries between the person and the background begin to disappear. I played with this by combining loose, expressive lines with softer areas of colour.
I studied classical painting, which gave me a strong foundation in drawing, composition, and technique. Over the years, my work has gradually become more expressive. I have learned to let go of strict realism, allowing more room for movement, abstraction, and intuition.
I wanted the figure to feel both present and slightly elusive, as though she is becoming part of the space around her. I worked quite loosely, leaving brushstrokes, flowing lines, and drips visible. I like a painting to show something of the process rather than making every part too finished or polished.
The painting is created using high-quality acrylic paints on premium-quality cotton canvas.
Dimensions:
- Painting size: 100 × 140 cm
- Total canvas size: 110 × 155 cm
The extra canvas around the painted area allows the work to be stretched onto a wooden frame measuring 100 × 140 cm. Alternatively, it can be presented flat in a frame behind glass.
The painting will be carefully rolled and securely shipped in a protective tube.
