This expressive work by S. Matthijs from November 1996 depicts a seated nude woman in soft pastel shades, painted with a loose, almost impressionistic touch. The color palette—warm pink, ochre, flesh tones, and subtly mixed grays—gives the painting a dreamy, intimate atmosphere. The figure is rendered with flowing lines and soft shadows, emphasizing the emotion and vulnerability of the moment. The paint treatment clearly reflects the character of the 1990s: expressive, intuitive, and focused on atmosphere over detail.
The work is housed in a light beige plastic frame , fitted with glass , which protects it and makes it ready to hang. The painting is in good condition , with the charm of a work almost three decades old.
As always at De Tuin Der Kunsten, accessibility is key: we strongly believe in art that can find a new place in contemporary interiors , without being unaffordable. Art that adds soul, creates atmosphere, and brings an authentic story to a space. This work by Matthijs fits perfectly with that vision: warm, human, expressive, yet subtle enough to fit into a variety of interiors.
A beautiful figurative work that exudes tranquility, beauty, and personality—ideal for those seeking affordable yet characterful art.
