Atelier Lieverse turns selected originals into an exclusive small edition, which guarantees the authenticity of Christiaan Lieverse. These works are numbered, but individually produced, which gives each work a unique character.

Each work consists of several layers of texture-bearing paint, wall paint and acrylic paint. Although the lines of the editions are the same, each individual work has significant differences due to the variety of techniques such as painting, burning, staining and smearing.

In his figurative work, Christiaan Lieverse plays with the beauty and tenderness of his models, powerfully portraying their vulnerability in an inimitable way. His canvases reflect various emotions and due to the pure and contemporary approach the work remains exciting because of the unique, but also changeable interpretation of the viewer.

Atelier Lieverse's work is about identity in a globalizing world. People who look at something or someone outside the canvas. The emotion is clearly perceptible. Something has happened or something is about to happen. Like a movie still. With his work Lieverse wants to create a connection between the viewer and the unknown. Empathetic from the first meeting. Characteristic of Lieverse's works are the large dimensions, the monochrome use of color, the raw linen and the coarse relief.
