Pierre van Dijk is one of the leading contemporary post-Impressionist painters. His work combines Impressionist and post-Impressionist elements and are often “plein air” paintings, as were the classic Impressionists. The Impressionists considered that the best forum to observe and represent nature would be in the open air — which is why their works were called plein air paintings – where the play of light and shadows would be most natural, striking and intense, rather than under the dim and artificial lighting of the studio.

Pierre has developed a unique palette, style and vision. This vision, the typical use of colors and his handling of light have become famous and trademark Pierre’s Impressionist paintings. His vision can be described as vitalist optimism; he paints the beauty of life.
