Eef van Brakel was born on October 3, 1930 in Driel (Betuwe). He spent his youth in Arnhem, on a houseboat on the Rhine, which explains his connection with the water. Rivers, dikes, banks and weirs determined his life as an artist and his vision of nature.
Before his retirement he worked as a supervisor at Rijkswaterstaat, which further strengthened his connection with water.
As a painter he is self-taught. Over the years he evolved more and more in an expressionist direction. His works became more daring, more colorful and less bound to the form. Spacious landscapes sometimes with a house, some cattle, often water, wild cloud formations, in powerful increasingly primary colors, sometimes just recognizable. He was friends with Jits Bakker, who was not only a sculptor, but also a painter. He could be found painting outdoors until old age, with large canvases, in Oosterbeek or by the Rhine.
Eef van Brakel passed away on January 3, 2014 at the age of eighty-three.
Dimensions with frame: 27 x 21 cm
Dimensions of work without frame: 24 x 18 cm
