Welcome to the magical world of Elly Richaerts' geometric/constructivist paintings.
Elly Richaerts is a Dutch painter working within the contemporary constructivist movement. In her paintings, she explores the tension between order and emotion, between geometric abstraction and human experience. Color, plane division, and rhythm form the foundation of her work.
Her paintings are characterized by clean forms and clear structures, yet always carry an underlying emotional layer. Subtle shifts in color and composition create a visual language that is experienced both rationally and intuitively. The constructivist approach does not function as dogma, but as a starting point for personal interpretation.
Richaerts' work lies at the intersection of geometric abstraction, constructivist art, and contemporary painting. Her oeuvre aligns with a tradition in which form and content are inextricably linked, while simultaneously maintaining a contemporary and autonomous voice.
This website provides an overview of her work, projects, and artistic vision. For questions, collaborations, or exhibitions, please contact her directly.

"The new composing is based on permanent contrasts that are each other's opposites and cancel each other out."
Quote: Mondriaan (1872-1944)
What guests say:
“Kleuren, driehoeken, vierkanten, rechthoeken en lijnen: Samen een imaginaire wereld die je soms in verwarring brengt maar het went al snel en dan zie je pas echt de constructie van het geheel.”
Dhr. Kuyck
"Telkens als je langs een schilderij loopt en vanuit een andere hoek kijkt verandert het beeld. Soms zie je diepte, soms niet. Het houd je wel bezig.”
Dhr. Van Reij
“Abstracte vormen in heldere kleuren. Constructivistische schilderijen noemt de schilder haar eigen werk. Vind ik helemaal van toepassing. Goede combinatie met de hedendaagse vormgeving van grote gebouwen.”
Dhr. Thei Luijten
"De kleurkeuze kan gerust sober genoemd worden maar toch is het een boeiend geheel samen met de strakke lijnvoering. Er is behoedzaam geschilderd, penseelstreken zijn er niet. Zouden niet passen in dit concept. Boeiend werk!!! “
Dhr. A. Dols
"De schilderijen van Elly Richaerts zijn surrealistisch van aard, al zou je dat op het eerst gezicht niet zeggen. De samenhang van vorm en kleur hebben blijkbaar niets met de realiteit van doen. Ze zijn een wereld op zichzelf, met onverwachte wendingen! “
Mevr. N. Metten-Weekers
“Deze modern vormgegeven schilderijen vergen enige afstand. Zouden een fantastische eenheid vormen met de moderne architectuur. In die gebouwen horen ze thuis.”
