POSES II Black to Gold
About the Artist
Humphrey Isselt was born in 1965 in Paramaribo Surinam. At the age of seven he migrated to
the Netherlands. His passion for drawing and painting started at an early age, while observing
nature and people in general. Growing up he expressed himself through painting and drawing.
He took art classes at the Augustinus College in Groningen where he learned the basics from
J. Poeder. He discovered that the vibrancy of the colors and strokes used by Vincent van Gogh
appealed to him. The sculptures of Auguste Rodin also made an impact. Being an observer of
live and having a profound understanding of processes and structures he coached people from
an early age on. At the age of twenty two his attention shifted towards computers and mobile
communication. These became a starting point for his working career. However interesting the
IT and mobile communication technology were they did not compare to art. So at the age of
forty Humphrey found his passion again in painting, drawing, and sketching.
“Creative art is appealing to me because it is a means to tell a story, change the outcome of and
or capture a moment”
In 2010 he quit his job as a Business Consultant to become a full-time individual coach, author
and artist. He has published five self
development books and eight art-books between 2010 and 2016. His art is mainly available
via the internet through online art galleries as: Saatchi Art, Seesle, Zazzle, Artpal and Fine-Art
America.
Humphrey experiments with many different techniques, and utilizes various materials to achieve
the desired effect. He enjoys working with acrylic, oil, water-colors and pastels He likes to bal-
ance colors, movement, energy and texture in his work. Recently he discovered digital painting
combining two worlds. Humphrey’s art is characteristic because it is a mixture of techniques
and influences.” I do not paint with a technique in mind, I paint with the object in mind. So
the art pretty much creates itself. It evolves like nature is supposed to” Humphrey usually paints
women or a suggested feminine presence. He paints women as a representation of love, seduc-
tion, beauty, live, strength, warmth, and natural softness. Aside from that he also paints ‘scapes’
(sea, land, air) and animals, because they portrait our precious living environment.
Humphrey wishes to translate his view of live onto every canvas by telling a story with color,
shape, and figures. Every stroke is a manifestation of his discoveries, challenges and deep rooted
longing for a unified and loving world where people can enjoy the wealth that is available to all
of us.
