DUTCH HERITAGE ELEGANT STILL LIFE PAINTINGS
Dutch fine artist Tanja Möderscheim specialises in oil paintings in 17th century style using the techniques and pigments of this period , the Dutch Golden Age . Based in London , these fine paintings can be purchased directly from the artist .
The artist creates refined and elegant still life paintings - small and large pieces on fine linen , wood , silver and gold . Understanding today ’ s desire for exclusivity , only the finest materials are used . The paintings are meticulously executed using the techniques and pigments of 17th century Holland . Additional exclusivity is offered through bespoke Golden Age replica frames .
Whilst Tanja ’ s paintings communicate the simple enjoyment of beauty and light , behind the paintings are stories of cultural heritage and tradition . For example , her paintings of antique Delft Blue vases and 16th-19th century tulips are a celebration of Dutch heritage . The artist owns and cultivates a collection of heritage tulips sourced from the gene bank , Hortus Bulborum , in Holland : her oldest tulips were developed in the late 1500s . Other paintings show game birds traditionally reserved for the Dutch aristocracy , or traditional artisan produce . For the latter , Tanja collaborated with the BBC Food and
Farming Awards and members of the Collège Culinaire de France . In addition , the artist delights in simply painting the beauty of fruit in raking light .
The paintings find their way into city and country homes . For example , large statement pieces are enjoyed in dining rooms and libraries , and small and intimate gilt paintings can be found next to a reading chair , glowing in the light of a table lamp . As these Dutch paintings are increasingly seen as desirable fine objects easily purchased from the artist , customers become keen collectors – a compliment the artist happily accepts .
