Hi, I'm Evelien Nijeboer, an artist since 1991. I live in Amsterdam (Netherlands). I did art school and a postgraduate in painting. I paint canvases and walls, and do some additional video animation. Further, I wrote articles on color theory, art history (20th century), esthetics and creativity (by the example of Nicola Tesla).
Apart from doing art exhibitions and commission work, I give painting courses that focus on gaining specific skills or deepen the understanding of color. In a painting course, I combine free painting excercises with small lectures on color.
I spent some time on doing artistic research on color processes, based on Goethean color theory. It helped me to gain a deep understanding of color - its being, its effects, and its role in creation. The work of Rudolf Steiner has been a source of inspiration for me, and has been a stimulating factor in my artistic research. Artistic research however, is a source of understanding on its own.
Color is a carrier of consciousness, a visual form of inner warmth, it's attention in motion
Silent, active human attention is the real magic
