Artist Martin Huisting

Huitsing (1965) has lived in Bedum for almost his entire life, a beautiful
village just above the city of Groningen. He initially studied mechanical
engineering and electrical engineering, but only later rediscovered his talent
for painting.
"As a
child I drew a little bit but, despite my interest in painting, it did not get
any further. Now painting is an indispensable part of my life. I like to paint
as lifelike as possible and that can be landscapes, still lifes or people. The
latter is the biggest challenge for me. "In the paintings of Marten
Huitsing you recognize the appreciation for the work of the classical
grandmasters. The small stories are often melancholic and seem to stop time for
a moment. Beauty and simplicity are the key words that apply to his work.Marten

Hageman, Xandra Donders, Jan van Loon, Miranda van Gelderen, Riny Bus, Chris
