Frans Bresser

My name is Frans Bresser.

I was born in 1950 in Amsterdam / Holland. I studied pedagogy and after leaving university I worked as a teacher in several primary schools in Holland.

​

Today I live with my wife for a great part of the year in our apartment in Arrifana (Aljezur Municipality), a beautiful village on the west coast of the Algarve.

​

Already during my student days, but also as a teacher, I have always painted. I have had lessons from various local artists. Initially I worked with watercolours, but nowadays I use acrylic paints and for

special effects I use sometimes paper with glue, metallic paint, reflex paint and

glitters.

​

There are many topics that inspires me, like landscapes, the sea, the coastline but also people in action, such as surfers, dancers, musicians. In many of my artworks I try to bend reality, like two dancers on a surfboard at sea or Jesus as a clown in a circus.

​

If you are interested in my work, you are welcome in my studio in Arrifana. The route via the N120 towards Aljezur goes through a beautiful area. But preferably after securing an appointment by email, because I'm not open all day.

 

I am also available for commissions.
