Nicolaas Roos

Roos’s inspiration is drawn from the many ideologies from Eastern philosophy. His inner-thinking and his experimentation with different media styles. Lyrical, atmospheric, and somewhat ethereal but serene is how he would describe his paintings. Drawn to the texture of paint, he prefers to explore a canvas using large brushes, rather than detailed realism.

While he did not start his career as a painter, his education within theology, philosophy, and clinical psychology, together with his keen interest in the sciences, astronomy, geology, and history, have all established the framework of his creations.

Nicolaas is constantly in search of living mindfully. His daily routines and personal rituals strive to keep him in touch with everything around him with a passive, non-judgemental awareness, paying full attention to the present moment.
