Ramon Otting

To Dutch painter Ramon Otting (1969), the landscape is a huge source of inspiration. The landscape reflects our moods, is enjoyable, can heal, or gives cause for contemplation. Otting’s work is all about nature and what it does to us human beings. This interaction is essential. An almost physical ominous threat is present in many of his land- and seascapes. Sometimes in dark and stormy skies, sometimes in overwhelming lightness. The superior power of nature compared to man, who will always lose, is palpable.

‘More and more, Otting’s work concentrates on building the wholeness to be found in nature. From low viewpoints and using terroir and soil from the spot where he finds the inspiration, Otting shows us the beauty and wealth of form and colour in nature. The looseness of his painting in combination with his sculptures opens up his work even more and strengthens the power in the details.’
