THEVISSEN

530 West 25th Street, New York, NY

Anita Thevissen masterfully captures the complexity of human experiences through her watercolor and ink art, using stylized figures and dynamic forms to convey intricate emotions.

Her piece Essence of Form utilizes gentle colors and fluid lines to depict a human figure, exploring themes of vulnerability and strength through contrasting soft colors and bold outlines. In Exposed, she invites contemplation on selfrevelation, with soft blue and golden beige symbolizing an ethereal yet earthly beauty.

Ascent of the Ethereal showcases a figure in motion, abstractly illustrated with warm tones and touches of blue, conveying both vulnerability and strength. Threshold of Change metaphorically presents personal transformation, using figures transitioning from darkness to light, symbolizing growth through adversity.

Thevissen’s work explores identity and the human condition, using detailed lines and a thought-provoking palette to highlight themes of resilience and growth. Moreover, her creations highlight the multifaceted nature of human experience, offering insights that resonate on both a personal and universal level.

I paint portraits and human figures that explore the vast range of human emotions and behaviors. My work captures facial expressions or isolated body parts, as a way to explore the psychology of the human experience; although I am particularly drawn to the sensuality of the female body. I paint on paper with a squirrel brush, using India ink, watercolors, and acrylics. I never mix pigments, but apply the paint directly in numerous layers for greater plasticity and color vibrancy. I use strong lines that create contrast and tension for powerful and dramatic compositions, varying the palette and linework based on the mood of the moment. Overall, I seek to move the viewer and create an emotional connection with my work.
