Ad Groot (Bergen,Netherlands,1953) Lives and works in Bergen in the North of Holland.

“Both nature and texture play a major role in my paintings.”

“Eatch painting is, as it were, created by  an organic process of applaying paint, scraping it away,filing in and applying paint again.”

The subjects are fragments of plants, animals, mosses and corals, which seem to manifest from the paint during the process.

“Nature in its rich and manifold appearances is never far away from the boundary between the abstract and visible realities .”
