Welcome to the Web site of Ilse Kleyn.

Ilse dedicate her art to the Lord.
"SOLI DEO GLOREA!"

"I am intrigued with the single form;  human, animal or still life.
I strive to capture the character and mood of the subject portrayed at that moment in time. 

The orchestrated structure and form of each work of art provide a perspective of rarefield atmosphere and dramatic appeal.  

My work is full of detail and the colours are vibrant.  It is my mission to paint works of art with a message to all generations, not just a piece of art to decorate the wall.”
