Wiebe Maliepaard

Wiebe Maliepaard Born in Wijk bij Duurstede, 1960 - The Netherlands  Graduated cum laude at the School of Arts Utrecht in 1993. It's solely 'the human being' which gives him the compelling feeling to paint. For Maliepaard, the human skin plays an important role. Especially the structures he finds of great interest, it is always a challenge how to express its velvety, callous, wrinkled or heavily hairy character. Maliepaard presents us with the harsh reality, the more transparent the skin, the rather he paints it.

For me the human body is the strongest source of inspiration which drives me to draw and to paint.The point of departure of a drawing or painting is the combination of emotion elicited by a specific pose of the model and the artistic possibilities produced by the body, the pose, and the play of light.The distinguished marks of the model are important to me although I take the liberty of changing or omitting them when I think it will improve the drawing or painting.My intention is not to draw a perfect body or portrait but I’ll do everything possible to create a realistically drawn/painted body, which, in combination with the composition and the skill of drawing/painting, has to be as powerful as possible - an intimate and confrontational image.
