ESTHER BAREND

Esther Barend was born in an artistic family in the Netherlands. After finishing her studies, she established herself as a designer of jewelry in Eindhoven (The Netherlands).

Several years later she started classes at the Academy of Fine Arts. After 3 years she felt she had to go her own way. With experimenting day in, day out she developed her own distinctive style through the years.

 After living in Paris, Amsterdam and Antwerp, she nowadays works and lives in the Valencia-region (Spain) and her paintings can be found in private and corporate collections from the North- and South America, all over Europe, The Middle-East, China, Japan to Australia.

Barend wants to stimulate the spectator to use his/her own imagination. She wants to take the viewer along into a fascinating spectacle, which has been built by intense colours, contrasts and powerful movements ... into another world that only exists in your own mind.

Everything is open, no fixed standards, no expectations, but total freedom.
