Japanese Kimono is a remarkable rendering of a young blonde woman, hair in a chignon, modeling a white Japanese silk kimono, embellished with red edging and elegant gold cranes. Japanese Kimono is carefully staged with an ornately carved Asian style accent table, vase of red anthurium flowers, and decorative black lacquer dressing screen serving as a backdrop.
Hofmann expertly combines his own techniques of painting with Old Master traditions, creating a beautiful aura of light and atmosphere that is more often found in great Baroque paintings. He pays fastidious attention to detail and creates harmonious compositions with superbly balanced colors and shapes.
Artist statement -
“With my painting’s I strive to get the feeling of air. There is a ‘signature’ to the work that reveals my hand, my feelings and my personality. You can see the manipulation of the paint and the brush strokes. I don’t want to paint everyday scenes. I’m a dreamer. I want to express a romantic feeling in my work. This appeals to me as a form of self-expression in today’s world of structured reality.”

Douglas Hofmann
Douglas Hofmann was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1945 and began his training in art after high school at the Maryland Institute College of Art. He also discovered the Maroger method, which enables the artist to use thin layers of paint and techniques similar to those of the Old Masters. He states, "With my paintings, I strive to get the feeling of air. There is a signature to the work that reveals my hand, my feelings and my personality. You can see the manipulation of the paint and the brush strokes. I don’t want to paint everyday scenes. I’m a dreamer. I want to express a romantic feeling in my work. This appeals to me as a form of self-expression in today’s world of structured reality."
