Holland, 2005
Pauline R. Kloppenburg (1966) studied at the Art Academy Constantijn Huygens, Kampen (The Netherlands). Her classical training comes from Kees Buurman (graphics), Eli Content (painting), Hans Dingjan (still life) and Jan Zwaan (model).
To earn an independent living she became a teacher as well as an Art Therapist. She continues to give workshops and lessons in her studio, specializing in her favourite subject: the model.
In choosing her technique, Pauline R. Kloppenburg is inspired by her perception of the subject itself. Her compassion with vulnerability of man, her need to rise the silent voice of art for tolerance, against injustice, or her musicality determines the imagination of the subject. Above all, she chooses to let her subject or model speak for itself, leaving space for the audience to interpret for themselves.
This openness of mind and the versatility of the artist, make it evident that her style is not to be caught within one category – the artworks differ from figurative to lyrical abstract. With one constant beneath them: their modest expressiveness.
