ABOUT ME.

Hello, my name is William de Louw, besides running a casa rural I am a painter. I exhibit my paintings under the name; “estudio/atelier William de Louw”. I studied for 7 years at the Academy of Fine Arts in Arendonk, Belgium. The first 5 years I followed the general painting course and I completed it well. Then I continued my studies by specializing. During my specialization I was able to focus on developing my own style. I completed the specialization with a nice certificate that congratulates me on my enthusiasm and my hard work in my search for my own style.
​
I master a multitude of techniques and work with different materials. However, I prefer to work with oil paint. The possibilities with oil paint are limitless, you can certainly see this in my works.
​
In addition to my preference for oil painting, I also have a preference for painting children. The attitude and spontaneity of children fascinate me enormously and are a source of inspiration for much of my work. In many of my works you can see the children of my nieces.
​
In addition to working with brushes and brushes, I also like to work with a palette knife, which makes the work more robust. I also find it interesting to abstract the whole, which gives an extra dimension to my paintings.
​
Another technique, making collages and then working with paint, brush and palette knife gives an exciting demonstration of multiple techniques in one work. The result is captivating and lively.
