Tineke Kleij-van den Boomen lives and works as an artist in Sint Oedenrode. She is an autonomous and self-taught artist.
The German art historian and writer Helmut Orpel describes some of her works as follows: "Many of her works show a dissolution of the fixed forms. You can no longer really find the figurative origin. Yet there is recognition. The separation between figure and space, between fantasy and reality, she has still wanted to hold but has been relativized by the dissolution of form."
Tineke herself describes her work as colorful intuitive art, different but therefore certainly as unique because it is made from the heart and life lived. She calls her paintings her "self-portraits".
Her paintings clearly have their own signature with depth, humor, irony, their own statement. Sometimes influenced by Dali and sometimes not. Different, full of energy, but always painted from her heart.
Her creations have been shown at various exhibitions at home and abroad and included in a number of art guides both nationally and internationally.
