The inspiration
For Tineke Kleij it is a privilege to be allowed painting. She loves the colors and forms. To be allowed to put her positive energy in every painting, earthly and spiritual. Every painting a reflection of who she is. She can get inspired by what she sees or has seen, feels or has felt. She can get inspired by the emotions which come into her. Motivated by the contact of those which she encounters on her path and/or by her long walks in nature. Consciously or unconsciously experienced. Tineke also let inspire herself by music and meditation. This music can be from Meat Loaf (Paradise by the Dashboardlight), hard rock to very sensitive spiritual music and almost everything between. Every painting is for Tineke a step further on her way to harmony and joy.

Tineke has for this a fine studio, “a Room of One's Own” (Virginia Woolf), in which she can retreat and devote herself to her newest creations.
