Frans Huijbregts | portret in opdracht | 2014 | Saskia Vugts Portretschilder
Frans Huijbregts. Al weer 5 jaar geleden schilderde ik dit olieverfportret. Een sterke aankijkende blik van een mooie krachtige persoonlijkheid. Daar kan ik wel wat mee! Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Saskia Vugts, I am a portrait artist from The Netherlands. I specialized in powerful, realistic oil portraits painted on a linen canvas, often enlarged close-ups. In general, my clients order family related portraits (children / parents / families), or business related portraits (a founder, or someone celebrating a jubilee) . The countless hours I put into my passion passed effortlessly. I chose to pursue a professional career in painting. I attended the Academy of Fine Arts, in Arendonk, Belgium where I mastered the application of oil painting techniques. My decision to specialize in realistic portrait painting was frowned upon by teachers and fellow students, as this would leave less space for creativity. I found a challenge in the resistance I met with. I learned to find the maximum space to merge my signature style within the classic boundaries of structure, style and detail. This freedom is expressed in the powerful, vivid display of the eyes in my portraits. Encouraged by a growing number of assigned orders I proceeded to evolve my distinctive skills. I started working on a portfolio of large close-ups of famous actors and actresses, to promote my work. These were shown on numerous locations in a variety of events, which lead up to my first solo exhibition in 2012.
