Picture "Big wave" (2021)

The realistically painted oil paintings and watercolors show landscape views in which the atmosphere of nature is palpable. Arnold Voet's paintings are inspired by the art of the 19th century. However, he did not copy the old masters, but developed a completely independent style with diverse influences. For example, there are clear parallels to the Impressionists in his depiction of lighting conditions. However, instead of blurring the contours of the pictorial elements as in Impressionism, he is oriented towards realism and often works out the details very precisely. "In my seemingly photographic paintings, I try to capture the dynamics of a landscape, including the influence of a wide variety of light sources," says Voet about his work.
