Biography

Name/Surname: Onno Dröge City/Country:Roermond / The Netherlands website: www.artonno.nl Study 1.at High School of art, Visual Designer, Maastricht 1986-1992 2. High School of Art HKU Utrecht Art & Education , 2002-2005
My first thought of becoming an artist was determined by my feelings. After all, I loved beautiful things. Ever since I was a child I was a creator.
2. Originally I am a plastic designer. I love nature and the natural materials, I love curves and flowing lines, I love the carnal, I love contrasts rough - smooth, round - straight, color in combination with natural materials, the endlessness of the horizon when you reach the sea, of rocks in combination with water, life and spirituality.
The earthly materials wood, clay, glass, water mean contact with the earth for me. Colors and shadows give me a supernatural feeling. Together it is a kind of longing for love and melancholy from beautiful moments in my life.
4. The ideas arise from inspiration, from loose thoughts, from nothing, or old farts. Changed ideas and feelings are also decisive in the development. Maybe I don't create alone.

Artist Statement

2016-2019 :“My soul is strongly inclined to softness and roundness, to fluid lines and shapes, to space in and around my objects. In my objects, I like to refer to the spirit world and the heavenly atmosphere, represented through the fluent shapes, the presence of shadow and the colors.
2020-2021 :Of course, time and development have changed my way of working. I started painting on small hardboard planks/boards. Anyway, I am driven by round shapes, by colors and especially the enamel white which for me has an association with the plastic and polyester shapes that emerged in the 60s and 70s.
