About ranonus:

Ralf Heynen (Ranonus), orientalism

Here you can see my work. Realistic oilpaintings inspired by the hidden secrets of the Orient. What happens behind those closed doors, or what is kept behind these windows? Questions that might remain unanswered, unless you look closer.

I have always been interested in old and worn buildings. In the refined details of Indian haveli's and rajput palaces One can still experience the splendid lifestyle of the former elite. The walls and archways are the silent narrators of stories of love and loss.

Armenian monasteries on the other hand, where lives of worship have been lived in modesty for centuries, breathe a different atmosphere. Buildings made just as solid as the surrounding landscape. Still standing strong after many earthquakes. Divine light shines through the small windows and doors.

I have also developed a classical style of portraiture. I like to depict people the way they are. Pureness in a portait shows the true nature of a person. Therefore I prefer to see my models in person before painting portraits on commission.
