Now life
seems to turn around the olives: the nets are placed under the trees and olive
presses are opening their doors. All artists working on this island will be
inspired by the olive trees. Like Chantalle van Eijk who was inspired by the
silver-green colour of the tree and the beautiful play of lines displayed in
the olive wood: The roots.
Material:
pastel pencil with Indian ink on water color paper, sizes: 24 cm by 31 cm,
prize: 125 euro.
Chantalle
van Eijk (born 1974) finished her study as artist in 1998, then she made long
travels and got her inspiration from the faraway countries. In 2003 she fell in
love with the Greek island of Lesvos where she stayed and since then lived and
worked. The structures, colours and basic forms in the landscape and the sea
are her main inspiration.
