“ Inspired by Nature”

Jenneke Brunnekreeft (1959) was born in the east of the Netherlands. She grew up in the beautiful region Twente on her parent’s farm. In this stunning landscape, she developed a great love for nature at an early age. The beauty of nature has always played an essential role in her life and has also greatly influenced her work as an artist.

In 1977, she moved to the west of the Netherlands to combine an education as a professional ceramic painter at the famous Porceleyne Fles in Delft with a study at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague. Both studies were a perfect combination to develop her talent.

In 1982, the artist returned in her beloved homeland and took the next step in her career. She started studio “Atelier Zwierige Penseel”, where she has been working on new exhibitions worldwide to this day. Her works have already been admired in Amsterdam, London, Paris, New York, Seoul, Venice, Dubai. Her own studio is also an inspiring place to work on commissioned paintings.

Since her youth, nature has remained the great source of inspiration for her work.     People, animals, flowers and landscapes are her favorite subjects. In addition to the physical resemblance, Jenneke knows how to capture the soul of her models on canvas like no other. Painting several layers over one another, she creates a beautiful depth. Her own technique, eye for detail and love for her profession make her paintings recognizable, inspiring and loved worldwide.
