Finally I can bring you the news that next Saturday I will participate in the TV show 'Sterren op het Doek' on NPO2 at 20.35 at Omroep Max. A great experience with three recording days in this late summer. Together with two other artists I portray a very beautiful well-known Dutch presenter. Özcan Akyol asks penetrating questions so that we can form a good picture of the inner and outer appearance of Dionne Stax!

What a wonderful profession I have, to be able to immortalize loved ones. These types of portraits are often of unprecedented value to the legacy of families. 2005 100x100cm.

What a privilege to be able to portray these twins. It was a present for their 30th birthday. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Saskia Vugts, I am a portrait artist from The Netherlands. I specialized in powerful, realistic oil portraits painted on a linen canvas, often enlarged close-ups. In general, my clients order family related portraits (children / parents / families), or business related portraits (a founder, or someone celebrating a jubilee) . The countless hours I put into my passion passed effortlessly. I chose to pursue a professional career in painting. I attended the Academy of Fine Arts, in Arendonk, Belgium where I mastered the application of oil painting techniques. My decision to specialize in realistic portrait painting was frowned upon by teachers and fellow students, as this would leave less space for creativity. I found a challenge in the resistance I met with. I learned to find the maximum space to merge my signature style within the classic boundaries of structure, style and detail. This freedom is expressed in the powerful, vivid display of the eyes in my portraits. Encouraged by a growing number of assigned orders I proceeded to evolve my distinctive skills. I started working on a portfolio of large close-ups of famous actors and actresses, to promote my work. These were shown on numerous locations in a variety of events, which lead up to my first solo exhibition in 2012.

For one of my biggest exhibitions in 2016, I painted 20 famous actors and actresses. I also portrayed Sandra Bullock and was exhibited in Theater aan de Parade.

I would like to go into detail. How fascinated I can be by a person and all his facets. From outward appearances to inward secrets. From drawing lines to highlights and dark shadows. All that comes across during the portrayal of my model. It remains a separate profession!

'Three of a Kind' Pien, Peter and Sas! In 2006 I painted this 3 part on behalf of their parents. In my style then! But not much has changed since then, luckily they still look like it.

Grateful and still very proud of these brothers captured in this double portrait ‘Casper and Floris’. Painted on commisssion of Heleen and Martin Couvée. Oil on linen 80x80cm.

Now and then I paint a color portrait just as realistically as in black and white. Wonderful to be able to use my creativity. I painted this portrait of René Schuurmans on commission in 2012. Oil painting portrait 120x120cm   

Af en toe schilder ik net zo realistisch als in zwart wit een kleur portret. Heerlijk om mijn creativiteit in kwijt te kunnen. Dit portret van René Schuurmans schilderde ik in opdracht in 2012.

Olieverf portret 120x120cm.

I painted this double portrait fourteen years ago. They were my first oil portraits in color, and what an enormous challenge. 80x80cm.

In recent months I have worked intensively with heart and soul on the portrait of the beautiful and sweet Britt. What a pleasure!

I painted this portrait assignment in 2012 on the occasion of my first major exhibition in Theater aan de Parade. I got this wonderful assignment from the parents who wanted to immortalize their teenage boys before leaving the family home forever :-)

Doutzen Kroes is een Nederlands fotomodel. In 2005 brak ze internationaal door als model via de Victoria's Secret modeshow. In 2011 speelde ze in een Nederlandse film haar eerste rol als actrice. Haar voornemen voor 2021:  ‘Ik wil niet langer partij kiezen, want wanneer je je in een conflict mengt, word je er een onderdeel van. Laat ik me focussen op het positieve. Laten we allemaal dromen over gezondheid, voorspoed en liefde. Samen kunnen we die droom waarmaken. Leef uit je hart.’

I painted this portrait in oil of Brad Pitt in 2014. (110x110cm) In my opinion, a serious look is best for a commissioned portrait. Most valuable in the long term. Because this is where the character of the person is best expressed.
