Katinka Krijgsman

Original oil paintings by this artist typically range from €1,200 to €3,500 depending on the complexity of the reflections and the size of the panel. Recent 2025 sales at Dutch galleries show a 15% price increase for works featuring metallic surfaces compared to 2022 data.

She utilizes a traditional multi-layered oil technique on thin wooden panels, often finishing pieces with a high-gloss varnish to simulate the sheen of metal and ceramic. Her works are frequently small-scale, often presented in deep floating frames that emphasize the objecthood of the subject.

Authentic pieces are signed on the reverse of the wooden panel and often include a gallery label from established Dutch contemporary art dealers. The level of detail in the highlights of reflections in metal objects serves as a primary marker of her specific hand.

She graduated from the Fotoacademie Amsterdam in 2011, which informs her focus on lighting and depth of field in her later shift toward fine art painting. This photographic background is most evident in her treatment of out-of-focus backgrounds in her 21st-century still lifes.
