”To me, as an artist, producing a good painting is about exploring all the different facets of composition, colour and technique and not just reproducing an image in a photorealistic way. Although I consider myself a figurative painter, I always try to find that essential balance and tension between the more abstract background and the realism of the subject(s). In a way you could say that I am on the frontier between figurative and non-figurative, or the traditional and the modern,” the artist described his work.
de Groot strives to find both a balance and tension between the representational and the abstract, the traditional and the contemporary. For the artist, painting wildlife is not an exercise in rendering all the painstaking details. Instead, it is an ongoing experiment of composition, color, and technique, concerned with conveying a sense of mood and atmosphere found in the natural world.
Ewoud de Groot lives and works in Egmond aan Zee, a coastal village in the Northern Netherlands. After receiving a degree in illustration and painting from the Minerva Academy of Art, he began illustrating nature books for a period before pursuing painting full-time in 1999. Today, de Groot is recognized as a rising star in wildlife painting, bringing a truly unique perspective to the genre.
de Groot is the 2023 Fall Arts Festival featured artist and his selected painting, ’Twilight Elk’ will be on display at The Cloudveil until it hits the famous auction block during the 2023 Quickdraw. This year’s Fall Arts Festival will be held on September 6-17. de Groot will also be showing a new body of works at Astoria Fine Art on the Town Square.
