Beautiful, colorful canvas by Mary Meijs 'Cocon'
Acrylic/oil paint on canvas, stretched on wooden frame
She continued her education at the Jan van Eyck Academy (1951-1952), where she was taught by Thé Lau. After completing her education at the academy, she produced works in various countries around the world. She traveled extensively and lived for extended periods in South Africa (1958-1961) and Curaçao (1965-1968).[ The influences of these can be seen in her work.
Mary Meijs' work is inspired by works by Karel Appel. Meijs did not paint completely abstract, although her work approaches that strongly. There are usually recognizable elements to be discovered; for example people, buildings or animals. Mary Meijs' works testify to a feeling for color and affinity with nature.
