Tineke Kleij-van den Boomen

Tineke Kleij-van den Boomen lives and works as an artist in Sint-Oedenrode. She is an autonomous and self-taught artist.

The German art historian and writer Helmut Orpel describes a number of her works as follows: "Many of her works show a dissolution of the fixed forms. You can't really find the figurative origins anymore. Still, there is recognition. She still wanted to hold on to the separation between figure and space, between fantasy and reality, but has been relativized by the dissolution of the form."

Tineke herself describes her work as colorful intuitive art, different but therefore so unique because it is made from the heart and the life that is lived. She calls her paintings her "self-portraits."

Her paintings clearly have their own signature with depth, humour, irony, their own statement. Sometimes influenced by Dali and sometimes not. Different, full of energy, but always painted from her heart.

Her creations have been shown at various exhibitions in the Netherlands and abroad and have been included in a number of art guides, both nationally and internationally. 

As an artist, Tineke has exhibited many times. Her work has been shown in Salzburg, Mannheim, Bruges, Barcelona, London, Innsbruck, Munich, at various locations in the Netherlands and at the Atelier routes Kunst in Rooi, which she (co-)organised.
