Colin Oosterveld
I was born on the 25th of February 1981 and grew up in
the eastern part of Holland. As a child I always loved to keep busy with
drawing, painting and with arts and crafts. At first I filled the paper with
small black and white drawings, but after some encouragement and support from my
grandfather began to use more and more colour.
Drawing painting and arts and craft continued to interest me through all my
school years until I
finished. After graduating from high school and some job training the plans for
a move to Alonissos were already underway.
The quiet life of Alonissos with its peace and beauty
inspired me to creativity again through painting which at first began as a hobby
before I moved on to create small decorative arts and later with the use of an
overhead projector created wall paintings.
Several years later I began working with my parents
running the Alonissos museum. I was inspired to create silk paintings when I was
asked to assist organising a silk painting exhibition for the Greek artist
Christina Kelessidou. The large amount of colourful art works and styles on
dislpy filled my heart with | ![]() |
I am proud to show you underneath a couple of my latest creations.
