Ronald Coffie (1944) has been painting for as long as he can remember. Through courses in the US (Famous Artist School), Rietveld Academy and Free Art Academy in Amsterdam and The Hague, he found a place in many galleries in the Netherlands and abroad. He has dozens of solo and group exhibitions to his name. Coffie has exhibited in Australia, Puerto Rico, Curaçao, Germany, England and the US. In Coffie's work, a combination of his Antillean roots and Dutch impressions creates individuality. The use of color is often sunny. In addition to figurative work, Coffie also paints abstractly. Balance of color is the starting point.
