"Winter scene with many people." Framed and ready to hang

It is a illustrating 19th Century Winter scene. This painting is also printed in my catalogue of 2018, and was first exhibited on Mount Tamborine Queensland in April 2018. It is an imaginary scene I had in mind after remembering the cold I endured during my childhood years in the Netherlands. Yet I also remembered the excitement when the snow started to fall and stayed on the ground for weeks, the rivers and lakes were frozen over, and how cozy it was sitting near the fireplace looking outside, seeing other children plying in the snow, and people ice scating on the frozen lakes.

Kivits’ classic oeuvre includes not only original Still-life’s, but also Fruit and Floral compositions, Landscapes, Seascapes and Figurative works in glazes of oil-paint. Predominantly tapping into his antique collection for inspiration, his works take considerably longer to produce; hence a small number of masterpieces are created annually.
True traditional realism, all in the line from the Sixteenth century European Masters onward, he is staying true to these time-proven styles, refusing digital means to aid his work, e.g. projection, pre-printed canvas, grid tracings, or anything but the skill of his own eyes to hand.
Dutch-born Kivits' has firmly established himself in Australia as a legitimate Brand over the years, and his creations have found their ways to art lovers in many developed countries.
