Description
Fire Opal – A work of art by Karin Vermeer
About Fire Opal
Fire Opal is an impressive work of art by Karin Vermeer. As exciting as the name sounds, the work is impressive when you stand in front of it. A special edit using photographic techniques and acrylic on linen. The various types of textured pastes make the work even more pleasing to look at and who knows, even touch. Because it is stretched on quality linen and also painted through on the sides, the artwork can be hung directly on the wall.

Karin’s artworks are handcrafted and are all just a little bit different. This makes each piece unique and personal. Each work comes with a certificate of authenticity, assuring you of an original work of art.

About the artist
Karin Vermeer: “My work is a mix of different photographs, images and paint that I combine on the computer and canvas to create a new representation. My favorite subject is the female face. I use pictures of people, old walls, grunge posters and all kinds of other interesting subjects to create a new image. Once the digital part is done, the image is printed and I start painting over it. I create the artwork with many layers of texture, gels and paint over it. In this way I try to make the digital image tangible again. My work is not so much about explanation and concept, it is a game and everything is about the image. I generally start out pretty blank, but by looking at images that interest me and mixing them together, a new image slowly emerges. All works are made on request in any size. Most of these works are a mix of print, paint, grain gel, heavy gel and matte or glossy varnish. The works are handmade, individually slightly different and in an edition of up to 25 pieces, numbered and signed.’
