Curriculum vitae Ron Westerweel '54
Ron Westerweel (1954, the Netherlands) painted during his medical studies until this could no longer be combined. The foundation laid then turned out to be still there when he picked up painting again in 2016. After a course and self-study, he started painting full-time in his own studio/gallery at the historic harbour in Goes from 2020 onwards.
He is mainly inspired by the baroque, great Dutch masters, impressionists, realists and surrealists. You can actually say, 'pocketing’ everything that suits him. This also applies to the environment where there is so much to see if you are open to it.
A good camera is a great tool for this. The old masters didn't have that.
Portraits, landscapes, animals, a theme or something special from, for example, the mushroom world. His realistic and partly surrealistic work is characterized by diversity, colourfulness, theme choices, character and atmosphere with the appropriate technique for the painting subject. If possible with some humour and a story behind it.
As materials he uses acrylic paint, water-mixable oil paint, watercolour, panpastel / pastels and charcoal.
Ron has exhibited at several Dutch Art Fairs, the Nationale Kunstdagen, Bubble Art Project (several European cities), Florence Biennale, Los Angeles Artshow, Red Dot Miami and galleries.
In 2021 he received an honourable mention for his exceptional art from the ‘Jakunst’ organisation. In January 2023, he received the 'International Prize Donatello' in Florence for his artistic merits from the art curators Salvatore Russo & Francesco Saverio Russo from Rome. In April 2024 he received in Milan the sixth International Prize Leonardo da Vinci. In October 2024 finalist 67th Artavita Online Art Contest.

My workspace became much too small and the light was limited. This led to the Galerie Goese Kade, about which more on its website:
