“The love for the beauty of life is the main driving force for painting. In addition, the wonder of life. The quiet of the studio during the creative process gives a pleasant slowness to the already too fast existence.” From head to heart, Pien de Haas.

Based in Amersfoort, Netherlands, Pien dedicate her time to her art after working for over 30 years as a nuclear medicine physician. Self-taught, Pien developed a taste for figurative expressionism mixed with a love for abstract art, which can be seen now in her large-scale canvases. As she works in her forest studio (the “Atelier of Boshaas”), Pien is surrounded by nature and takes her inspiration from it. As a result, she creates colourful and contemporary paintings letting her brush wonder into beautiful figurative abstractions.
