Additional explanation about the exhibition

Love, happiness and success are scenarios depicted in the paintings that visual artist Claire Verkleij of Let The Colors Speak made especially for the exhibition 'Golden Times. In addition to the new works that Claire created for this exhibition, paintings from previous exhibitions are also on display. This makes the exhibition extra varied because a wide range of themes and types of works are on display.

How did the exhibition come about?

Claire Verkleij “For this exhibition I was inspired by the questions: what is a golden age, when do you experience a golden age and what is the optimal balance in life?

When do you know if you are living your best life? When do you live in a golden age? What is your most beautiful life and how do you know that you are living in a golden age? What is love and what is happiness?

Questions that you usually cannot answer directly. Colors sometimes speak louder than words and the paintings contain the answers that you sometimes cannot give in words. The paintings reflect a feeling and answers.

How did you arrive at the theme 'Golden Times'?

Claire Verkleij: “I am currently in the prime of my life, or at least that is how I experience it. The world is at my feet, I am healthy, happy and feel loved. But when do you know that you are living in your golden age? What is a golden age and how happy can a person be? Giving love, getting love and losing love. What is a good balance when it comes to love and success? These are questions that inspire me and make me think. When is the circle complete?
