Roos van der Meijden 

My name is Roos van der Meijden, I am 44 and live in Pijnacker. In 2001, I graduated from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague and have worked as a painter ever since. I paint very realistic cityscapes and interiors, both in acrylic and in oils.

When you look at my paintings, you will see that I like floors. I especially like to paint shiny floors with inlaid patterns. In combination with the contrasts between light and shadow, they breathe life into the stories in my paintings. Many paintings are based on moments in my personal life, symbolically represented or not. I have personally visited all the places depicted in my paintings.
