SCHOORL The Hofgalerie | location Galerie Klein Zwitserland | Duinweg 30 Schoorl | open Wed-Sun 11:00-18:00
We're just as happy with this painting as we are in this photo! It now hangs in our bedroom above our bed. Martine took some photos of our bedroom beforehand and beautifully incorporated the colors into the painting. Hooray for Martine! And...our painting actually keeps getting more beautiful!

Years ago, we noticed Martine's paintings. After our move, we immediately had a place in mind for a beautiful painting by Martine in our new living room.
I called Martine, and she quickly came to us with some paintings. What excellent service!
The painting "Dewlight" looked absolutely beautiful on this light gray wall. Normally, we always take a moment to think about it, but we were immediately thrilled. The painting was a winner! We're still thrilled with this vibrant color in our living room.

I immediately fell in love with all of Martine de Ruiter's artwork. It's like bringing spring into your home. Beautiful colors and a unique technique.
We thought 'Life' was the perfect fit for our home, so we purchased it through De Hofgalerie. I've spent hours looking at the artwork, and every time I do, I find myself smiling!
Tessa, Oudorp
Martine created the artwork with Shine that gives our kitchen the ambiance it needed. We love the light, refined style and the palette structure.

I had already seen Martine's work hanging at Galerie De Ruimte, and some time later, at our request, she created a truly beautiful painting. We had great contact, and she even delivered "Lovely Day" herself. It's a showpiece in our living room, and for us, it's a keepsake of a loved one.

We saw the beautiful work "Buiten" (Outside) on Martine's website and immediately fell in love :). The Hofgalerie, where the piece was being exhibited, brought it to us on approval—what a great service! We knew pretty quickly that the painting wouldn't be leaving our house again—wonderful!

Lovely day
We'd been searching for new paintings for our living room for some time. We browsed numerous websites and visited several galleries. We stumbled upon Martine's work on the website of Galerie De Ruimte in Geldrop. The playfulness, subtle interplay of colors, and the texture created by the use of palette pieces surprised us during our visit. This was exactly what we were looking for. The painting "Dancing" has found a place above our dresser, and the painting "Kalm" adorns our seating area.

Martine's work, "Grote Weelde," is exactly what its name suggests: rich in flowers, with plenty of relief, sheen, beautiful colors, and an impressive size. It perfectly completes this important space in our living room!

"For the first time in the 20 years we've lived in this house,
We found a painting for our large wall that stole both our hearts, Rijk!

'Rich'
I saw Martine's works at Galerie De Ruimte in Geldrop. I had a few beautiful pieces in mind, but when I inquired, they turned out to have just been sold. In our subsequent contact with Martine, we came up with the idea that she might consider our color preferences for a new painting in the making. And so it happened... and we are so happy with this beautiful painting, called Rich Field!

"We bought the painting 'Light' at Durf! in Haarlem.
What particularly appeals to me is the use of light, fresh pastel shades.
What also makes the painting particularly beautiful is the use of palette pieces.
Beautiful fresh bright colours of the flowers sharp
silhouetted against the background of fresh pastel shades.
To make you happy and cheerful.
The painting hangs in our apartment by the sea
and it really comes into its own there."

"Oeverfeest was my gift for my PhD. I'm so happy with it!"
Dr. E. van Dijk
We were looking for a painting that would bring more color and style into our living room. 'Love' was a complete success. We both love this modern baroque style and the relief effect of Martine's painting technique.

Years ago, I bought a small piece by Martine when I lived in Haarlem. Now we've acquired a larger piece after it stayed with us for a while as part of Support the Art, an initiative of the Hofgalerie in The Hague, which Martine represents. We're thrilled with this beautiful flower painting in our art gallery!
Blackbird, Leeuwarden
We bought the "Leef!" (Live!) piece at Galerie ArtFusion Amsterdam, which carries Martine's paintings. We loved the atmosphere, and Martine used colors that perfectly complement our interior. We're thrilled with it!

Live!
Martine's use of color immediately appealed to me when I saw her work in Libelle. I received this colorful bouquet for my 80th birthday. My living room could use a pop of color, and it looks fantastic!

"Naar aanleiding van Martines expositie bij KunstCentrum Haarlem hebben we dit werk, Flowerpower gekocht. We zijn heel blij met de kracht en kleuren die het schilderij in ons interieur brengt."
A & N, Beverwijk
We learned about Martine's art through my brother, who has one of her paintings. My husband and I were immediately captivated by the work "Kwiek." Its many pale pieces have a great deal of relief, allowing us to discover more and more different floral shapes. We're thrilled with this light, airy showpiece in our living room!
Else, Alphen aan den Rijn
"With this painting, Martine has captured the colors and atmosphere perfectly. From different angles, the light has a different effect on the palette and colors. Bright is at home here!"
Karin, Haarlem
'Bright'
We first saw Martine's art at Art Eindhoven. Some time later, we went to see her art at the ArtFusion gallery in Amsterdam. We were pleasantly surprised that we could take the painting home with us on approval. It looks beautiful above our sofa. So we decided to buy Sparkling. We're very happy with it.
