Ada Breedveld (1944), Voluminous lady, Oil on wooden panel, 116 x 95 x 4 cm.ref:WES22037
A woman appears in almost all paintings by Ada Breedveld (1944). A voluminous, ever-satisfied smiling woman, surrounded by an ever-changing backdrop of decorative patterns. These motifs - such as fish, snakes, flowers - symbolize sexual power, growth and vitality. However, it is not a matter of interpreting symbols for every painting. Because one thing is immediately clear: this woman is a fertility symbol. She is sensual, voluptuous, humorous, loyal in friendship, sometimes a bit lonely and sad, then pleasant and social.
