Sven Hoekstra (born Nijmegen, 1945) is a Dutch visual artist known for his paintings, drawings, and graphic work. His work is often rooted in memory and observation, and he creates images that balance between reality and fantasy.
Many of his compositions feature landscapes—often countryside or farmland—in which human figures, dancers, or musicians appear. These characters evoke an atmosphere where inner and outer worlds intersect.
A characteristic aspect of his work is the horizon, which is often prominently featured (blue). The horizon connects the heavenly—for example, a vast sky—with the earthly: fields, fields, and land. This is also the case in this beautiful painting.
The landscapes are Dutch, and the human figures are anchored in their surroundings.
Hoekstra is deeply inspired by dancers; he calls it an “expression of style and emotion”—the dancers are not just figures for him, but give him the opportunity to show emotions, movement, and the tension between his inner and outer worlds.
He finds it interesting to combine that expression with “the constructed Dutch polder” — so a mix of inspired, theatrical/dancing figures in a recognizable Dutch landscape.
Resale rights may apply to this work if the sales price including art auction costs is > 3,000 euros.
This means that a 4% surcharge is added to the auction price, including Kunstveiling's fees. This surcharge must be paid by the buyer. The seller must remit it to the artist (or the artist's heirs).
The work can also be picked up in Borne, Overijssel. The collection period, with advance payment, is very generous. In other words, the buyer can pick up the work weeks or even months later. Shipping is also possible; it will be carefully packaged and sent by registered mail. However, this is at the buyer's risk. Shipping via courier (for example, Swift or easy2send) is also possible, with an estimated cost of approximately €100.
