After a cremation, an urn of ashes acts as a special, tangible memorial. But this type of commemoration isn't for everyone. An urn can sometimes seem a little distant. A matter of trust Taupe STUDIO offers you the possibility of incorporating a small amount of ash into the massive paint drops on a painting. Of course this requires discretion but also complete trust. During a visit to me, your wishes will be discussed informally and obligation-free in a homely setting. Depending on the client's wishes, the painting can be peaceful and discreet or brightly coloured and sparkling. A wonderful, tangible memory The painting with the ashes is ultimately a special, tangible memory of something very dear. Many people find this nicer and more beautiful than a simple urn. On request, I can produce a series of photographs illustrating my working method. Many people like this, in order to create a photo book for example. You are most welcome to discuss the options. https://www.taupe-studio.nl/en_GB/c-3599749/reference-projects/ https://www.taupe-studio.nl/en_GB/c-3599749/reference-projects/ Unfortunately, the paintings below are not available anymore Please feel free to ask for a customised work of art https://www.taupe-studio.nl/en_GB/c-1151354/practical-information-prices/ https://www.taupe-studio.nl/en_GB/c-1151354/practical-information-prices/ ​ Price request Feel free to send me an obligation free price request for the painting of your choice.

Hanging a painting For the paintings on my website I use the hanging system of Artiteq, which enables you to replace a work of art easily. https://www.taupe-studio.nl/en_GB/c-1151856/choosing-the-right-painting/ https://www.taupe-studio.nl/en_GB/c-1151856/choosing-the-right-painting/ ​ " Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder "Bright or natural colours Many people have a natural interior with sober shades like taupe or grey. This works well as a base for both a painting in natural taupe tones as a more colourful eye-catcher (see above pictures). The most important is what YOU like and what YOU feel comfortable with! A fact is that colour has a bigger impact on our mood than we often realise. A good 'intermediate solution' is a painting with both taupe tones and some bright colours in it, e.g. Borneo or Coral Reef. The right sized painting You should also choose a painting that is the right size: take a good look at its future location and try to follow the 'line'. Some large walls are perfectly suited to a large square canvas. A horizontal object like a big sofa or side table often looks good with an oblong, landscape painting, whilst a vertical canvas really achieves its full effect in a large alcove, hallway or atrium. However, as I use to say: Art is like Wine, be sure to pick what YOU like most!Not too small A painting is more likely to be too small than too large. Too small creates a bare effect, whilst large looks more chic and is an eyecatcher in your interior at the same time. Do not be afraid to let a painting have the wow-factor when you enter the room!A wall in colour Dare to give walls colour, this adds contrast and depth to an interior. Why not try a wall in a shade of grey or taupe, as you can see on the pictures of this website. Decide which wall you will be adding colour to in advance and take the direction of the light into account as well. Both the taupe and the more colourful paintings of Taupe STUDIO fit perfectly on a wall in a taupe/grey (or other) shade. https://www.taupe-studio.nl/en_GB/c-3504867/about-us/ https://www.taupe-studio.nl/en_GB/c-3504867/about-us/ Text, Photography, web design: © Cissi Driessen > for full text see Dutch version of website (Google Translate) Studies My name is Cissi. At the age of 17, I started with my studies as a translator and interpreter at the University of Antwerp, which I completed 4 years later in 1991 (master). Then followed a year at University in Strasbourg, France. In between I also studied and worked in Spain, Greece and Italy. I had the privilege to meet so many interesting, valuable people from all over the world during all these years.In 2015 I said goodbye to the office environment and opted for a life without stress with my paintings. Even more connected to nature, my heart and intuition. * Upon request, I provide interpreting/translation work (​​English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Modern Greek) * Specialized in bioidentical hormones; member of the Hormone Network in Munich since 2016With 'Bird of Paradise' I try to inspire (a.o.) in: * Naturopathy: a holistic way of living according to Nature * The prevention of menopausal symptoms * Cooking grandma's way * Know your familiy history, understand and heal yourself * High sensitivity and giftednessA peaceful home Vitamin D3 and a pan of fresh soup every day inspiring people around you positive thinking and just being happy then you have already won 95% 'Happiness comes from Contentment' (Taupe STUDIO garden)My inspiration: the art of being content I am a content, grateful and happy person, I have a strong connection with nature, people and animals and I feel privileged to be able to take so much pleasure from the smallest, everyday things. That’s where I get my inspiration. ​ For my paintings, I work with acrylic on linen canvas and 45 mm thick aluminium frames. My work is abstract and my style is characterised by the thick paint, the large size and the sides of the canvas, which are also painted in detail. Painting: how it began I just created my first painting one day in 2010, I am an autodidact in every respect and I believe that, with self-confidence, willpower and simple hard work, anything is possible. When you put passion and commitment into something, it’s all great fun and good things come your way. My style developed naturally after that and the paintings find their way in and outside Europe. Giving up my regular job and choosing painting has meant there is no stress in my life - one of the greatest pathogens of our time - and I have plenty of time for other people. I hope to create moments of happiness and inspire people to be mindful and live in the moment more, through a wonderful combination of colours and composition. Life is like a camera: Focus on what's important Capture the good times Develop from the negatives And if things don't work out Take another shotMaking choices and scaling back I am convinced that daring to make choices consciously and in time will help us to give direction to our lives and our own happiness. We just keep rushing on through our crazy, overfull society, where there is too much of everything. We are always busy but can't see the fact that we ourselves are the cause of this. We derive most of our identity from what’s on the outside. I think this is largely because of the internet and social media, but we ourselves want to keep too many plates spinning too. It has caused a lot of stress and superficiality, which means that we don't pay enough genuine attention to one another, our children and the things we do. I believe in a life closer to nature and in scaling back: being content with less, finding peace in ourselves and in our own home, moments of calm spent together at the dinner table, live and let live, in short: quality over quantity.Happiness is a way of travel not a destinationBeing friendly By living my life in a positive and disarming way and passing this on to others, I try to inspire people to do the same wherever possible. If we could all be a little bit friendlier and mild, do more for each other and accept each other as we are, everything around us would immediately seem so much brighter. A smile or just a little compliment, you'll see that it spreads like wildfire and you get twice as much back. Your smile will open the world. Karma! Cissi "ALL CHILDREN ARE ARTISTS.
