Bio
Lodewijk Siertsema
Eugenie is a great artist who we have first met in Madrid in 2004. Her paintings are inspired by the light and colours of Spain. In particular she knows how translate the emotions and the interests of Spaniards on canvas. We were lucky to acquire 3 of her paintings. Eugenie has depicted her love for the flamengo dance in a most creative and original way, using an extravangant color setting. Her gallery in The Hague hosts frequently talented young artists from predominantly Spain and South America. I can highly a recommend a visit for those interested in attractive affordable art.

Eugenie van Raaij, an artist with the world as her studio She has created a new experimental 'playground' for herself and for others. A new way to 'capture' the world around her and share these thoughts and images. The artworks show Eugenie van Raaij’s wide-ranging movement around the world. A large part of her oeuvre is Eugenie’s ‘registration’ of the perceptible and tangible ‘elements’ of her direct environment. This side of Eugenie is strengthened when she works in her studio in Cadiz (Spain), surrounded by light, untouched valleys and mountains that have surrendered to the forces of nature. When one ponders these artworks, they change into an almost physical experience. Light, shadow, movement, wind, drought, weathering and transience are an inexhaustible source of inspiration. When sand and pigments are merged in one big expressive brush stroke, they form an crucial part of her work. The dynamics and diversity between these elements attracts her strongly. “The creation and collective experience of art transcends our differences and emphasizes our similarities.” The works of Eugenie van Raaij also reveal deeper hidden qualities and points of friction of a specific place. This often results when she remains in the same place for long periods of time, building up a dialogue and kinship with the local community. With these works she exposes certain subjects (human interest) in a new or different way. These works serve a new kind of dialogue: a language without words. A language that appeals to the imagination, shows different insights and perspectives and connects people from different ‘worlds’. The artworks of Eugenie van Raaij appeal to one’s emotions and contribute to beauty and truth. With her work she reflects on, freedom, joy, but also suffering. These are identifiable themes for everyone. The creation and collective experience of art transcends our differences and emphasizes our similarities. Show less
