Learning about art history from a young age, Woud-Binnendijk combines the Chiaroscuro principle and the Sfumato technique to emulate the traditional manner of the Dutch golden age masters like Rembrandt and Vermeer.
Woud-Binnendijk, Born in the midseventies, is a mother of five and 100% addicted to coffee. She is a self-taught, sensitive, and strong artist with an infinite creative urge who is always full of patience to grasp 'the other side' of a person. After graduating as a Goldsmith, Gemmy studied Multimedia Design. In 2016 she began practicing photography, and it has taken over her life. Attracted by the same light of the old Dutch masters, she re-discovered her passion for painting and drawing. Using the same chiaroscuro techniques, she creates depth. By stacking colors and color tones, she makes softand elusive transitions. The combination of the inherent love for people and animals with a strong urge to create composes contemporary artwork in the light of the past.
For many people, the pressure to belong becomes dominant at a very young age; it is then, she believes, that essential life issues such as being content with yourself and finding your passion are forgotten.
