REALISTISCHE SCHILDERIJEN
Painted realistically, with a story
Realistic painting is more than copying precisely. It is about light, texture and the moment a still life or portrait comes alive.
Almost a photograph, but painted
From a gleaming oyster shell to the wrinkles of a veteran: Sarah paints reality with a precision that makes you doubt whether you are looking at a photograph. Yet nothing is photographed; everything is built up in thin layers of acrylic. That handwork is exactly what gives the works their warmth.
Narrative realism
Sarah calls herself a storytelling painter. Every realistic work has a layer you only notice when you keep looking: a reflection, a stray object, a nod to a memory. It is why viewers voted her portrait of Martine van Os the favourite in the TV show Stars on Canvas 2024.

Frequently asked questions
What is realistic painting?
A style in which the subject is rendered true to life, with great attention to light, material and detail.

Can I commission a realistic work?
Yes, from portraits to still lifes. See the page Commission a painting for how it works.
Rather something on commission?
Sarah also paints portraits, animals and still lifes from your own photo or idea. Get in touch for the possibilities and a price indication.
