NATURE IN SONJA'S WORK
"For plein-air artist Sonja Brussen, nature is the greatest source of inspiration. She sets out to capture the moment, the speed of light, the change of clouds. It is an ongoing hunt and a daily quest to capture light, air and space. Nature has fascinated her from a young age, and she captures it with a minimum of human influences. Her powerful works, which connect Impressionism and Expressionism, are painted alla prima (wet-on-wet) by Sonja Brussen. Her technique and use of colour are strong and very personal."
Harry J. Kraaij, art historian

"Guiding Light is breathtaking, and we are so pleased with this oil. It was packed securely in a wooden shipping crate and was received in a timely manner. Sonja even enclosed some of her blank note cards with the painting, which was very thoughtful. Pleasure doing business with her!"
Benjamin Wood
"This painting is now hanging in my study and is one of those that changes with the mood of the day. Just now it is duck and the moon is rising casting its light. In the morning it will sun rise. You have captured the spirit of the air that can only be done by painting in nature itself. It is one of those remarkable paintings that enjoys light."
Jonathon
"I have never bought art online before - I have to say I was a little anxious but I am so glad I took a leap of faith for Sonjas work. As a family we had a fabulous time a couple of years ago cycling and camping in the Netherlands. The painting captures those happy memories perfectly and will transport us back there whenever we look at it."
