Barro Donker

Barro Donker, a self-taught painter from Amsterdam, defines himself as a figurative expressionist. Inspired by artists like Francis Bacon, he sees art as both a refuge from and a guiding force in navigating life's challenges. By free will, forced by doing the wrong things and making bad decisions, Barro has been "privileged" to live in many different societies. He sees through all the patterns and phenomena of human behavior in all societies. Olga Tykhonova's mastery of wool, evident in her intricate garments and sculptures, adds a rich, tactile dimension to Barro's canvases.
