Embracing the light / lyrical abstract paintings by Eelco Maan

[@englishpiano]

This is so wonderful! I don't know much about painting. I asked a friend to give me some hints to understand, to feel abstract painting and he showed me two of your videos. This one has really made me soar. The way you talk about inspiration is really soothing my soul. I feel how complete I am.

[@KarmikFusion]

All your words aligned with what I have always felt artists are..channels/vessels that bring forth beauty and even enlightenment through their works that come from everything around us. Without asking the question I had, your words and art have answered them and given me the freedom to fully open myself without fear of failure or judgment. My canvasses and I will now be able to develop a trusting bond. I understand now. Thank you for sharing your awe inspiring gift and words to ears that can hear and hearts that can feel... I can't wait to get back to painting again!

[@eelcomaan]

Thanks very much Inger! And happy painting to you!

+Eelco Maan Sei straordinario!pittura onirica senza riferimenti!

[@cindyvandine7637]

Have watched your videos over and over again.....the first time brought me to tears, I cried all the way through. They're so ethereal and moving. Thank you for inspiring me to paint from my heart.

[@TeamPhooz]

I allowed this video to play, and before I knew it, I fell asleep. It was the best way to doze off. The music and the images flow so well together, it is like watching heaven!

[@jonleenunn4610]

Bold, large strong color and movement. I can swim in your paintings with my eyes. Would love to see you actually painting.

[@gottfrieddesign]

Really love lots of your paintings and feel for your style.

[@tonylee7924]

I will have to admit you are my favorite modern artist . I have written a note to you on facebook as far as medium texture and using very thin layers.You make it seem effortless and I know it is not.

[@lesleyorr3418]

Wonderful video. Meditative images and accompanying music. Watching and listening and reading your thoughts was illuminating, healing. Thank you.

[@pounds11]

You are great! Your words and your music touch my soul deeply. Thank you for beeing!

[@patricialintner7178]

Eelco Maan, whether I am having a stressed day or simply need some time to unwind, all I have to do is look at your paintings and watch your videos, and I am taken to a place that is on the brink of Heaven. Your work inspires and comforts me, with so much passion and yet....at the same time calm. I too pick up a paintbrush and create. Your work inspires me to bring out my emotion as does yours. I would like to ask, what do you use for your textures in your paintings? Exquisite work!

[@calitadelsur]

Thank you very, very much for your message. The message itself it´s a real inspiration for the world. Thanks for your art and for your words!! :)

[@sanasm1943]

Wonderfull your style 😍 can you show us techniques please?

[@jennyminny5113]

would you call your next painting, Beautiful Jewel? Please and let me know what it looks like thanks.

[@dianehansma1725]

The size of your canvas is perfect. Do you stretch your own? There are some videos out there that some paint on MDF board. It would be so much more affordable, but I think using the palette knife on it, would not work on a hard surface. Your work is so so amazing!

[@eelcomaan]

Thanks Diana, I buy my canvasses ready-made on aluminium frames do they don't warp.

[@patricialintner7178]

Eelco, I went on your website and loved your making of a painting. Can I ask what kind of gold powder do you use? I like to tell you too that on my lunch breaks at work, I spend my time watching your videos. I find them so calming and accepting what life has to offer. Thank you. You are true inspiration to me.

[@eelcomaan]
