Ronald is an artist who works primarily from his feelings. For him, art is a way to create his own visual reality, as opposed to the (sometimes harsh, difficult) reality of the real world. Ronald Schriel has been working at the Herenplaats studio since 2008. For Ronald, making art is a way to express himself in a way that he cannot put into words. It gives him peace and self-confidence. He likes to work at his own quiet pace in the studio.

Ronald has experimented extensively with various materials and techniques, developing his own unique style. At first glance, his work seems almost abstract, but on closer inspection, the realistic details emerge. His work is not the result of premeditated planning, but grows and develops organically, each time anew, with different colors and shapes. These elements influence each other, creating a game. This process does not happen intellectually, but comes from within.

Ronald’s fascinating work goes in all directions, but ultimately he always strives for balance. Sometimes his work is abstract, sometimes figurative, optical, or humorous. Both literally and figuratively, his creations tell a story that intertwines above, below, and through each other.

Now on display in the exhibition What goes down, must come up.
