Dr. Heiens is an accomplished international artist whose colorful abstract expressionist works never fail to solicit an emotional reaction from the viewer. Using color intensity and simplicity of composition, his works make a big impact without crowding the canvas. His paintings have a wonderful balance and handling of the acrylics and are intended to catch the viewer’s eye with their colors and shapes that tell a story. His paintings have a balance of warm/cold/neutral color composition with a mix of different round and edged components.
There are clear boundaries filled with soft shifting nuances. He uses a layering of the paints to create richness in the colors, with light and darks being well placed.
“Van Gogh said, “the painter of the future will be a colorist in a way no one has been before,” that is my goal as an artist. Through my artwork, I try to bring color to life. My paintings all have one thing in common: shapes and objects are disclosed in the painting through different colors, which makes the paintings interesting to the viewer. My interests and thoughts give life to shapes, color, and arrangement.
No two paintings are the same, and each art piece often consists of different styles and themes. Every finished work is meant to inspire the viewer to feel their emotions through color. Colorful objects and shapes allow them to see what they want even if it is not what I intended to be there.” – Richard Heiens
