Artworks by Roeland Kneepkens

After art school, I started working for myself right away. Since 2012, things have been going better and better and I have exhibited regularly in Amsterdam and New York.  In addition to my own paintings, I have worked on commissions for many clients around the world. Since 2024 I have been asked to join the Masters of Realism in the Netherlands, and will exhibit in more places with this group.
I Like to listen too a lot of music and watch a lot of movies. Often even in the background when I am painting. I work exclusively with the best oil paints and linens such as Micheal Harding and Old-Holland.
If you are interested in purchasing more than one painting, I make a wooden box that fits two paintings for one transport. Send me a pm and we can talk about this.  See you soon. 

Statement:

I am fascinated by people – why we choose to gather, what food we share, which outfits we enjoy. I simply observe, and my observations can fit any period. The spontaneity of such occasions intrigue me, as individuals dress up, place a bottle of their favourite wine on the table, and effortlessly start to talk. I watch. I stare. I also wonder about events before and after the moment I have caught on canvas. Because the image itself is only the start of a longer conversation. That is why I prefer real contact with my subjects, whether they are strangers or my friends. People may have come together on impulse, or the tableau may be staged. Once the group is together, the occasion generates its own unique discussions, expressions, atmosphere, authenticity. Even when lodged in our history, it will resonate today.
