Jeroen Paulussen

Jeroen Paulussen tries to surprise the viewer by showing ordinary things from a different perspective. Whether macarons, pavlovas, lollipops or flowers, enlarged to enormous proportions, these objects become surreal. Unexpected colour nuances emerge, recognisable details become abstract lines. According to Jeroen, such interpretation of reality' leads to a new definition of beauty.

"With my paintings I want to convey the feeling of joy, the same feeling I experience when I see a rose blooming, illuminated by the early morning sun, when the rays gently touch the velvet petals and reveal all the nuances of colour. You can't put it into words,'such a delight'"

The paintings consist of multiple layers of carefully applied oil paint, giving his still lifes a photographic realism.
