Product description
Striking in Ada Breedveld's work are the refined decorative patterns that form the ‘setting’ of her depictions. The theme of the 'primordial mother', often accompanied by tulips, fish, snakes, or other motifs from flora and fauna. Motifs that appear frequently in the history of (Dutch) painting and to which a symbolic meaning can often be attributed. One thing, however, is always clear: this woman is a fertility symbol par excellence. But she is also more than that; she is also sensual, erotic, frivolous, voluptuous, humorous, loyal in friendship, sometimes somewhat lonely and sad, then again cheerful and sociable. But what stands out most, a ‘constant’ on almost all canvases, is the smile, the mysterious smile that reappears time and again. Mysterious because the eyes are always closed, as if the contentment expressed by the smile comes from within. As if this smile is the result of self-contemplation, of contemplating the essence of womanhood in all its facets. Type of work: Screen print
