HAROLD ASPERS – PORTRAITS

Harold Aspers grew up in the southern Netherlands and studied architecture at Delft University of Technology. After more than fifteen years as an architect, he chose to devote himself fully to art. In his portraits of women, Aspers explores beauty beyond outward appearance. Using largely self-developed techniques, he builds his works layer by layer. From a distance, a clear image emerges; up close, textures, materials and refined details come into view. His process begins with a carefully planned composition. As he paints, forms and details blur and merge, allowing the work to take its own direction. Transparent layers give the portraits emotional depth and personal character. For Aspers, what matters most is what a work evokes and makes the viewer feel. Aspers has lived and worked in Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam, Eindhoven and Maastricht. He works from studios in the southern Netherlands and Belgium. His paintings are held in international collections and shown by galleries and at art fairs.
