Maria Winkel - Painting in a mirror frame - Sold

Are you looking for a true statement piece with a story for your interior? This intriguing, large-scale painting is a beautiful work by the renowned Dutch artist Maria Winkel-Hendriks (1923–2006). The canvas combines modern surrealism with an elegant, geometric composition. It depicts a repeating, dreamlike scene of a stylized woman wearing a hat, set in an architectural space with beautifully contrasting wave patterns. The subtle, earthy color tones (beige, gray, white, and deep blue) ensure that the painting, despite its dynamism, has a calming and harmonious appearance. About the Artist: Maria Winkel-Hendriks Maria Winkel-Hendriks received her artistic training at the prestigious Academy of Fine Arts in Rotterdam and the St. Joost Academy in Breda. Throughout her life, she was very active in Rotterdam and Dordrecht, and later also shared her expertise as a teacher at The Hague Academy of Fine Arts. Her work is known for its focus on stylized human and female figures with a unique sense of rhythm and patterns. Artworks by her hand exude the typical post-war, modernist atmosphere and are a sought-after collector's item for lovers of Dutch modern art. The Mirror Frame What makes this specific object extra special is the luxury mirror frame. This frame gives the whole a modern, 'Eric Kuster-esque' Hollywood Regency look. The reflective glass surrounding the canvas creates a beautiful sense of depth, captures the natural light in the room, and allows the classic modernism of the painting to seamlessly blend with a contemporary, chic interior.
