Paintings by Ton Dubbeldam   

Ton Dubbeldam was born in Holland in 1957. He comes from a very artistic family, his father a musician, and his grandfather a painter. Ton studied six years to become an art teacher, but decided to paint full time when his own artwork started selling throughout Europe.

Dubbeldam’s paintings in oil, combined with dry pastel, and sometimes by using Spotting and  dripping techniques will make you associate his work with various art forms and different periods of time. It is remarkable to see that the Dutch painter, Ton Dubbeldam, often chooses themes that beautifully come together with his impressionistic and pointillist techniques. There is a certain atmosphere about his canvasses, which will give you the feeling of a 17th century landscape painting. You will notice his specific use of light and dark shades, the depth, the high skies, the wideness, the far horizons, which are not disrupted by buildings or trees.
