Collection: Philippe de Kraan

International contemporary artist and his quest for passion, “to master the meaning of expression”

Born in Holland and described as a psychedelic enigma where he lives in Melbourne Australia through the art of expressionism. “The art of giving life on canvas to new souls as they speak to me, and the public, for the first time.” From his earlier days in Holland where he used to pay a sitting fee to beggars, fishermen, children and the elderly with their etched faces dramatically portraying their lives experiences inspired by Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Brett Whitely and Claude Monet. 

In this footnote he would say “This is my journey as an artist, to show what I have to offer and one day leave behind. Not to have lived in vain. Most people are not with me, they can not see and underestimate me greatly. But the few believers who watch me are in agreement, I am just beginning!” - The Artist/ Philippe de Kraan

With over 400 original works available De Kraan is a master in the making. This talented unique artist remains prolific with his style of impressionism and expressionism. As seen though de Kraans’ eyes it becomes a study of the soul.
