Escha uses a method of painting in which abstraction and figurative images combine and reinforce each other’s effect. Her
main inspiration comes from the old masters who create a beautiful
sense of light in their work and places such as Venice, Florence, and
the Middle East. She is an artist of exceptional intensity whose
dynamic and poetic abstraction faces and figurative display profound
sensitivity and a great emotional power. Vital in attack and detail
and brilliant in colour her energetically composed acrylic paintings
radiate an aura of spirituality, which suggests the Middle East and
Italian influences, although their formal characteristics are wholly in
the contemporary European tradition.Her first painting she sold in the town of Kitzbuehel in Austria where she lived and worked for 3 winters.
Many years of travelling followed to places such as The Middle East, most of Asia, Europe, Australia New Zealand and US. It
was in New Zealand where she remained for more then 4 years and met
fellow artist David. Today Escha and David spent their time in between
New Zealand and Europe, where they spent months painting in Venice,
Italy and winters in the alps. In New Zealand she started exhibiting
her paintings in galleries all over the country. Exhibitions followed
in Japan, Europe and US. Today Van den Bogerd mainly sells and exhibits in Holland, The US and The UK. Recent
projects include commission work such as portraits and nudes, and work
for art publishers in Europe, as well as Murals for children and adults. Eschas work has also been published by PGM Artworld and house in Holland, prints are available worldwide. Recent exhibitions where held in Switzerland and Holland. Painting for me is about sharing thoughts and emotions with others.
