Themes and techniques
 
Willy van den Berg lives and works in The Hague, The Netherlands. She studied at the Willem de Kooning Academy of Arts, Rotterdam. She obtained a master’s degree in Art History at Leiden University.

The main themes of the work are related to making choices, searching, taking leave and light versus dark. Inspired by memories and personal stories, the paintings refer to deeper layers of meaning, creating a timeless and tranquil world where figures try to find their way. In diffused light, the subjects remain shrouded in shadows.

Technique: Acrylics on linen.
