Presentation
This Dutch painter lives and works in Amsterdam. Its vibrant energy, historical architecture and the enormous cultural diversity of its inhabitants are a constant source of inspiration.
Edo has loved and lived to paint since his early childhood working alongside his grandfather, the Dutch naïve artist Cornelis Kaaij.
His unique style is a fascinating blend of the figurative and abstract merging successfully to create a new approach to the human face.
“I'm always looking for a balance between the contrast of abstract and figurative form in my work, whereby I often let the subject prevail."
Edo Kaaij's paintings transmit the beauty and kindness he sees in people around him. A skilled mix of pallet knife and warm subdued colours build layered textures.
