An intriguing signed painting by artist Wilma Laarakker, dated 2007 and painted in Budapest.
This oil painting is executed on a sturdy wooden panel. It is characterized by a masterful use of light and shadow. The dark, atmospheric setting is broken by a bright yellow light falling through a high window, creating a dramatic and intimate effect (a modern chiaroscuro).
Most striking is the finish: the entire panel is coated with a high-gloss varnish (probably epoxy). This gives the work a modern, deep, and almost glassy look, emphasizing the colors and mood of the light. The panel is equipped with a hanging system.
This is a unique opportunity for the collector or lover of contemporary Dutch art and painting who plays with mood, light, and a special finish.
