Nico Heilijgers
''Archeological Find II'' Contemporary Dutch Painting of a Skeleton of a Dog

2022

About the Item

Dutch artist Nico Heilijgers (1964) works in the tradition of the great seventeenth-century painters. Heilijgers' paintings are characterized by aesthetics, harmony and atmosphere, whereby the intangible, the unnamable - call it poetry - elevates the image above the simple representation. "I use images from everyday life and try to evoke endearment without sentiment with minimal means, and concealed humor without a burst of laughter." In recent years, Nico Heilijgers' compositions have been simplified by depicting fewer elements and large areas are left empty. This is how tension is built up. The colors are applied in a looser and faster way. Recently, the artist has also focused on cityscapes. Nico Heilijgers was educated at the Minerva Academy in Groningen, where he was taught by artists such as Matthijs Röling (1943) and Diederik Kraaijpoel (1928). He lives and works in Utrecht, the Netherlands. ''Archeological Find II' combines beautifully with ''Archeological Find III'' also listed on 1stdibs.
