Dutchman Rob Ijbema now lives in Wales. From a young age Rob has never been far away from pencil, scalpel or brush. He has always had this desire to capture images in his own way. His passion for racing cars made him move to England, the home of motor racing where he built scale model cars for most of the famous names in the Grand Prix world. However after 10 years it was time for a new challenge, racing cars are now captured in oil paint and acrylic. Rob's paintings are known for their emphasis on atmosphere,light and movement, rather than detail. His combination of a delicate impressionist style with his sense of danger, speed and menace of motor racing, results in powerful pictures. Detail is hinted at by seemingly random dashes of color and line. Theres so much abstraction in some areas of the work that its almost an optical illusion. Historic Car Art has works ranging from large canvases to wonderful small study paintings. Rob is also available for commission work. Please email or call +44 (0) 1332 694538.
