About Ruud ;
RUUD VAN STRATEN
Born in the Netherlands 1967.
I have always been busy drawing and painting.
Continuing with that was not really a priority after my studies. I temporarily had other things on my mind, but in recent years I have taken art seriously again. I do not show my work at a gallery but mostly online on social media and sometimes I participate in special art events directly to a live audience. I do oil paintings, drawings and I digitalize drawings into exciting prints. I use different techniques, which ensures an exciting, colorful and changing art collection. My work is mainly figurative. In my paintings I often focus on the male body. My series Decay found their way to an artcollector in the USA mainly through a blog by an enthusiastic advocate of the LGBTQ community in which he spotlighted gay artists from all over the world. Other paintings have found their new place in the Netherlands, made on commission or simply bought out of love at first sight.
I usually show free work. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any special requests, who knows.
Meestal laat ik vrij werk zien. Aarzel niet om contact op te nemen als u speciale verzoeken heeft, wie weet.
