This beautiful painting is listed in a high quality frame. The artist Annelies Jonkhart, fine painter and realist pur sang has been one of the permanent core artists of Galerie Bonnard for more than 25 years. A first acquaintance with her work for us was there in the gallery itself. Fine painted still lifes, flowers and striking Chinese traditional objects. The attention to what she paints can be seen in all the details that this artist manages to add to the painting. Particularly pleasant was the introduction to the artist and her husband herself. It was nice to see how Annelies looks at her work, we like to quote her! Annelies about her work: "My predilection goes to painting objects that rhythmically arranged together have more value and meaning than each object separately. They have to come back to life on my panel, which is why I always use my palette knife in addition to a fine brush. You might say that I am a nice painter, but I think you should also see the paint tests. Despite the many oil paints it does not all have to be smooth, my work has to live. This also applies, for example, to the display of summer fruit, which remains juicy in this way, fruits in which you want to put your teeth. Because of my foreign travels, I have also become increasingly inspired by other cultures in recent years. This has led me to try to capture the atmosphere on the spot a few times outside under the warm Italian sun. But also that once in the security of my studio I show something of the special expressions of other peoples (such as from China) in my work, such as old mannequins, clothes or bowls. But whatever I paint, the most important thing remains for me to make the viewer feel that each work means much more to me than merely displaying reality: I want to add something of myself to it, my painting must have a soul, it must hit you.
