For him, painting is the perfect opportunity to reconcile these completely different cultures. Typical of Anton Vrede's work is the close relationship between humans and animals. Vrede sees his work as fairy tales for adults, as contemporary myths. Underneath, Peace touches upon an essential dilemma: what distinguishes us from the animals? Where does the relationship end? Anton Vrede seems to be looking for a paradise harmony in his work, while at the same time he sees the impossibility of this.
Vrede lives and works in Rotterdam
