This painting, titled "BETWEEN WATER AND AIR", is an elongated artwork depicting a serene, natural scene. It shows a group of birds in flight or landing, set against a vast, light blue background that suggests the boundary between water and air. The work is executed on wood and is characterized by subtle use of color—soft blue and white tones—and burnt lines in the wood that create relief and vibrancy. The elongated shape gives the piece a panoramic effect, emphasizing the vastness of the depicted landscape.
Anneke Winterman works with a technique she developed herself of burnt and chiseled lines in wood combined with acrylic and watercolor. The small incised lines arose from the realization that scars are not only signs of pain, but also of life. In my work, they transform into water, wind, and light: Images of movement, freedom, and harmony.
The technique displays fine detail in the rendering of the birds and the texture of the water surface. The painting is in excellent condition, with vibrant colors and a poetic resonance in the texture of the burnt lines. The original finish and character of the work have been well preserved. This artwork fits perfectly into a modern or Scandinavian interior, where it can add a calming element to a living room, bedroom, or hallway. Its elongated shape makes it particularly suitable for placement above a sideboard, sofa, or bed.
Anneke Winterman is the creator of this poetic, mystical artwork. For more information about her work, visit www.annekewinterman.nl
