Original Abstract Acrylic Paintings by Petra de Vries

Welcome to my world of original art.

Every piece you see was painted by hand—acrylic on canvas, no prints, no replicas, and absolutely no copies of existing work.

I never start with a plan. I face a blank canvas and let instinct take over. A background appears. A circle in the top left. Waves in the bottom right. A slash across the middle. Then come the dots, the lines, the shadows, the flashes of color. Stroke after stroke, something unexpected takes shape—a piece that suddenly feels alive and worthy of a place in my home.

Every painting tells its own story through movement, texture, and color. Some whisper, some shout; some reflect, others provoke. No two are alike, and each carries its own personality.

Take your time exploring. Let the art meet you where you are. Maybe a piece will spark a memory, stir a feeling, or simply make you pause. I believe art finds the people it’s meant for—right when it should.

 Thank you for being here and sharing this creative journey with me.
