Fred Arends was born in 1949. In 1966 he began his studies at the art academy in Arnhem, The Netherlands. His artistic qualities soon became apparent, and gradually he developed and refined his technique.
Like many 19th century painters, Arends was inspired by 17th century masters and their techniques. Arends was also fascinated by the great Dutch Masters of the 19th century. Extensive studies encouraged Arends to translate these Dutch-Romantic paintings into a contemporary version.
After more than 50 years his work still finds its way to private collections in Europe, The United States and The Caribbean.
Nowadays Fred Arends resides in the colorful country of Curaçao, where he is inspired by the beautiful aspects of the island. He still uses his unique and authentic technique and captures his surroundings beautifully in his work.
Today, he paints still lifes, landscapes, vistas of Curacao, as well as detailed paintings that beautifully portray the island’s character. See less
