Nicolaas Roos

My inspiration is drawn from Eastern philosophy, inner reflection, and an ongoing exploration of different media.

​

Lyrical, atmospheric and serene, my paintings lean toward the ethereal. I am drawn to the texture of paint, preferring to work with large brushes rather than detailed realism.

​

Through a lifelong connection to classical music and a preference for oil, a quiet melancholy often emerges. As a keen scuba diver, I am also inspired by the depth and intensity of the ocean, resulting in bold, contrasting compositions.

​

Although I did not begin as a painter, my studies in theology, philosophy and clinical psychology — alongside interests in science, astronomy and history — continue to shape my work.

I strive to live and create mindfully, remaining present and attentive. Ultimately, each painting is intended to speak for itself.
