Dutch artist Chantal van Leeuwen was immersed in the world of art from her earliest childhood.
Her father an artist, while her mother is a stylist.
They often took her to art exhibitions in The Netherlands and in Paris and other areas of France when she was young.
She always showed an extraordinary interest in the artistic world.
She studied textile, fashion and interior design, where model drawing and compositions were a focal point.
“After my creative studies, I took lessons in drawing, abstraction and mixed techniques by different artists.
And I studied 17th-century painting techniques for three years.”
Chantal worked for twenty years as an interior designer, counting fashion labels, real estate companies and design studios
as clients with her own company Osmosis Interior. She even worked on a Dutch Television program.
Now living in the Algarve, she is focusing on her artwork, which has all been inspired by her past life experiences.
"Emotions play an important role in my paintings.
A subject that inspires me is the contemporary (end)-time in which we live, that define our society.
Identity 'awakening in time and memory', the undergoing transformations.
A journey to an inner mature conscionsness. The change process takes place in everyone's inner world"
