Richard Hartskeerl: Technical Finesse with Emotional Subtlety

Emerging from a rich background in Old Masters paintings restoration, Richard Hartskeerl now turns fully to personal vision, working with oil on linen and framed in elegant black box-frames. 

Hartskeerl’s titles convey layered narratives: works such as “Wie zie jij?” (2025) or “Laatste trein” (2025) invite the viewer to question identity and departure, stasis and transition. These themes are quietly mirrored in the arrangements of figure and space, sometimes veiled, sometimes direct.

At The Winter Salon, Richard Hartskeerl extends a warm invitation: to view these paintings in person and feel their texture, light and symbolism are best encountered on-site in the studio or gallery environment.
