AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

"True Connection Feels Like Coming Home" is a powerful and warm work by Hamelink, executed on an intense orange background that immediately draws attention.
Three figures are close together on the canvas, each with their own expression but clearly connected. Their simple black silhouettes and large, expressive eyes give the work both humor and depth.

The handwritten text 'True connection feels like coming home' forms the core of the painting.
This sentence refers to that one feeling that cannot be faked: when you find someone with whom you can be completely yourself. Not exciting, not complicated, not forced — but trusted, warm, and recognizable. A place where your energy drops, your breath deepens, and your nervous system relaxes. That is 'homecoming' in another person.

Hamelink captures that feeling in a style that fits within Contemporary Neo-Expressionism: raw, honest, playful, and full of human emotion. The figures are simple, but the message is profound. The painting radiates connection, safety, and authenticity.

A striking and meaningful work that immediately brings warmth and personality to any space.

Important information for buyers

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.
