Artist Willeke van Thin (1946) trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague. Her talent was recognized by the European Painting Prize in Ostend and the Victorine Hefting Prize in The Hague. Willeke uses her imaginative realism to bring her canvases to life with great expressiveness and theatricality. The energy of her work is expressed in both oil and pastel. Over the years, her Willeke’s art has been included in collections such as the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the French Museum in Haarlem, and the Museum of Modern Art in Arnhem. Her work has been exhibited many times nationally and internationally, and she has completed large-scale commissions, including paintings of wedding halls in Belgium and a giant canvas of a French music band. Lately, Van Ting has been drawing a lot of attention to her three-dimensional works made of cardboard.
