Welcome to the site that introduces you to the painter Ria de Henau.

It's abundantly clear from Ria de Henau's work that traditional skills are back!
Despite the hectic times we live in, she takes the time to patiently build up a painting in accordance with old, almost forgotten traditions, including the glacis technique of multiple layers of transparent oil paint, grisaille, and the application of rich and deep colours on linen.

Her work derives a unique vigour and vitality from the combination of the finest craftsmanship and exceptional sensitivity.

We are children of our age, united in and with the timeless flow, in everlasting motion...
(Ria de Henau)
