The paintings created by visual artist Anna van Oel include both commission-based work and original-concept artwork. She paints in a figurative style: using her distinctive brush strokes, she draws on the classical techniques of the seventeenth-century masters. Located in a former church building in the city of Hindeloopen in the Dutch province of Friesland, her spacious studio exudes an atmosphere of comfort, serenity and dedication, which is essential to her quest for perfection.
