About the artist
My name is Antoinette Micke- Smelt, born in the Netherlands in the year 1942. As an autodidact I take different lessons in painting for some years, using a variety of techniques. For me the experiment is number one, through which the expression is more important than perfection. The vitality of colours goes above the precision of lines. The unexpected above the familiarity. To deal with the process of the act of painting itself, without staring at the result.
