About the artist
Ronald Zuurmond (born 1964, The Hague) is a Dutch painter known for his layered, introspective works that combine memory, decay, and beauty. After studying Cultural Sociology at Tilburg University, he pursued his true calling at the Tilburg Art Academy, where he developed his visual language.
Zuurmond's paintings often originate from existing images—photos, reproductions, or old paintings—which he edits, paints over, and transforms into new, timeless compositions. In this method, time itself plays a key role: layers of paint, traces of previous versions, and subtle remnants of the original image remain visible, creating a poetic tension between past and present.
His oeuvre exudes melancholy and contemplation, but also a deep love of color, texture, and painting as a craft. Zuurmond's work is included in various private and public collections and is regularly exhibited nationally and internationally, where it is praised for its tranquil power and layered imagination.
