Niels Eilering was born 1980 in a little town called Schoonebeek. As an autodidact he started painting portraits in 2010, inspired by the Dutch old masters. His has developed a style that he uses a lot of unnatural colours to trigger the audience to use their own imagination. During his career he also developed a more abstract style of paintings where he uses his environment for inspiration. He had several expositions in Amsterdam and in Saint-Paul-de-Vence (France).
