Escha van denBogerd (1972)
Escha van den Bogerd was born in The Hague, Holland where she attended the Rudolf Steiner school, a school with many art subjects including painting, drawing and art history. After leaving school Escha followed several art courses around Europe, including Florence, Italy, Salzburg, Austria and her home country Holland.
Escha uses a method of painting in which abstraction and figurative images combine and reinforce each other’s effect. She is an artist of exceptional intensity whose dynamic and poetic abstractions and faces display profound sensitivity and a great emotional power. Vital in attack and detail and brilliant in color her energetically composed acrylic paintings radiate an aura of spirituality, which suggests the Orient, although their formal characteristics are wholly in the contemporary European tradition.
Her first painting she sold in the town of Kitzbuehel in Austria where she lived and worked for 3 winters. Many years of traveling followed to places such as The Middle East, most of Asia, Europe, Australia New Zealand and US. It was In New Zealand where she remained for more then 4 years and where she started exhibiting her paintings in galleries all over the country. Exhibitions followed in Japan, Europe and US. Recent projects include commission work such as portraits, travel themes and work for art publishers in Europe, as well as Murals for children and adults.
