Hanny Reneman (b. 1947, Gouda) currently resides and works in Delft. After studying Art History in Leiden and completing her training at the Vrije Academie in The Hague, she established herself as an independent artist. Reflecting on her work, she states: My paintings and drawings are a reflection of the impressions and experiences I’ve gathered. I navigate between seemingly contradictory elements such as figurative and abstract. My primary inspiration is drawn from the landscape and nature. Consider me a true wanderer, for slowing down allows one to see more. That methodical and tranquil pace carries a meditative quality. I strive to uncover the structure and rhythm of the landscape in this manner. I refer to it as the grammar of the landscape. The overarching theme in both my life and work is the journey and search. The destination itself is not of great importance, it is the journey that holds significance. Painting for me is always a process of overpainting, adding and subtracting elements, an organic process of change. The overpainted areas serve as a sort of memory, sometimes barely visible yet still influencing what comes later. I blend everything together and paint.
