Dutch painter Yvonne Melchers' focus is on realistic/figurative oil paintings. When young she studied at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, but had to leave after one year on account of many other obligations.
She tried to keep painting next to her work at the Academic Medical Center, although it wasn't easy to find any spare time next to her job and raising a child. From 2009 she has painted full time. Her main series are the Dutch North Sea coast, Italian Scenes, Siena Palio Portraits and Rooms with a View. She has also made some still lifes and (commissioned) portraits. She is known for her crispy colors with the very limited palette of Monet. From 2001 to 2012 she has worked in The Netherlands and Siena (Italy) alternately, and although this caused some restlesness, she found the contrast in life, light and colour inspiring and challenging. From 2012 she has settled in The Netherlands permanently. She took part in exhibitions in Italy, Spain and the US, but mostly in The Netherlands. Her work was published in (American) magazines and in numerous books on realistic/figurative work. Her work remains in the Academic Medical Center Amsterdam, in Museum Møhlmann, and in many private collections around the world.
