Professional impressionist painter Chris van Dijk, born 1952 in Den Bosch (Bois le Duc), The Netherlands ( Pays Bas ). He moved with his parents to The Hague at the age of two. He studied percussion at the Hague Conservatory and played as a drummer in various bands, including Big Wheel and disco bands such as Dutch Dimension and The Jet Set.
He married his wife, Anne Mooiman, in 1974. They lived in The Hague and Gorinchem, where they had two children: Michelle (1981) and Daniël (1984). In the year 2003, Chris and Anne moved to the Dordogne, France.
Gradually, he became a mature painter who is now considered to be an important and continuing link in the rich tradition of European impressionism.
Friends living in the 'Parc naturel regional du Morvan', Bourgogne, made him aware of a lovely house with a fantastic garden and studio. In 2017, Chris and his wife Anne decided to move from the Dordogne to the Bourgogne in France.
Considered as one of the most important Contemporary Impressionists of the 21st century. His paintings are sought by art collectors worldwide.
Most scenes look unposed, as if the subjects were caught unawares. Most of the time, the people in his paintings are engrossed in their daily activities, such as playing in the sand on the beach, walking in a landscape picking wildflowers and poppies. They seem to be at home in their natural surroundings. Chris van Dijk's contemporary impressionist paintings celebrate the beauty of nature and life.
In 2016, Chris started his ongoing art project "Paintings That Could Have Been Made". These are subjects that would have been perfectly suitable for being painted in earlier times.
Chris van Dijk is an internationally acclaimed Dutch/French impressionist artist. He is a registered artist at the National Service for Art History in the Netherlands.
(RKD Rijksdienst voor kunsthistorische documentatie).
Since June 2022, he is an elected member of the Italian "Quia International Guild of Artists".

Thanks go to my friend and the author of this biography, Claudia Moscovici.
She wrote: Thank you to the hundreds of international artists I have worked with as an art critic over the past 20 years, particularly on the postromantic art movement (Romanticism and Postromanticism), who voted me the 6th most famous female art critic in the world, on ranker.com, the largest database of opinions, with more than 1 billion votes. I'm so honoured to be appreciated for doing what I love: writing about art!
