Van Velde’s compositions, while abstract, convey deep emotional intensity, with forms and colors that seem to pulsate with life.

« Artists don’t live in the everyday world. That’s why people think they’re an odd bunch. »
Bram Van Velde

His work reflects a profound engagement with the struggles of existence, influenced by his challenging personal experiences and a lifelong search for meaning through art. Van Velde’s paintings have been widely exhibited, particularly in Europe, and he remains a significant figure in post-war abstract art, with works held in major collections such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.

What is abstract expressionism?

Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
