New video: Create the Uncreated ! "My creation"

Aug 23, 2023

I am happy to share how some of my work flow looks like. It's the final phase of works that are created and wil get finished with 2 layers of epoxy. As sizes get bigger, the logistics and handling becomes more complex and time-consuming. We use very clean and high quality epoxy that has been mixed in a kind of special formula to get the results I want to have. The burning of the little air bubbels between the pouring sessions is really fun to do.

In other videos I will share more of the design process, brainstorm process, search, hunt and decision for the materials I work on and how I blend my designs on certain materials. 

In the whole overall creation the end result for me must be surprising and mesmerizing. 

ENJOY !

Pop-up expo Paris, Atelier Néerlandais .....caressing your artistic soul

Jul 10, 2023

Pop-up expo Paris, Atelier Néerlandais .....caressing your artistic soul

Paris possesses a unique aura that sparks inspiration and fuels the artistic spirit. Known as the city of light, Paris radiates an energy that transcends time and space. As you navigate the streets, the city welcomes you with open arms, inviting you to immerse yourself in its romantic allure. The pop-up expo at the beautiful Atelier Néerlandais (AN) amplifies this inviting atmosphere, infusing the event with good vibes and an infectious energy that spreads throughout the venue. The Atelier Néerlandais is a platform for Dutch design, the arts and the book: for cultural entrepreneurs. It is part of the Dutch Embassy in Paris, which founded the Atelier Néerlandais in 2014. It is situated minutes walking from the Louvre Museum.

As members of AN, Dutch artists from diverse backgrounds were invited, to gather to showcase their passion and talent. Amidst the breathtaking ambiance of Atelier Néerlandais, those 2 days were filled with artistic brilliance, new connections, and the unmistakable good vibes that only Paris can offer. Just like my hometown of Eindhoven, Paris is truly a city of light, and it leaves an indelible mark on your artistic soul.

Thank you so much, Lilian Widdershoven and Joan Mols for organizing this 2 day event, I has been a lot work and preparations. The vernissage on Thursday was superb and I had several very warm conversations. The 2 dance and 1 music performances were very nice, as dancers performing in front of the art works. Happy as well about the positieve feedback about my new artwork The Intelligent Cow. It was a pleasure to meet many new Dutch artists and I wish everybody good progress with their works and passion. 

Lilian did also make a wonderful brochure with our artworks and their descriptions to take home and show proudly to our families and friends. I leave it in my own studio and gallery for future visitors.

I also had some time to work on my Paris 2024 project, to shoot some supporting content. I will share more information in the next months on this. These 3 days was inspiring and the days after I went to Honfleur to deliver a new artwork at Gallery Metamorphose. I enjoyed seeing this beautiful gallery, proud to have my work there, and enjoyed the meeting with the owner Philippe Siennicka. I have a great lunch and diner en did spend the night there. On Sunday morning I drove back to Eindhoven, thinking about my next visit to Paris .....

A bientôt,

Paul Raats

New collaboration with 2 galleries in France

May 06, 2023

New collaboration with 2 galleries in France

6th Mai 2023, Eindhoven, The Netherlands, 

Gallery collaboration news !! It has been a very long journey, partly due to corona, but the first art works are present in 2 beautiful #galleries in #France. A personal moment of WOWWWW.

End of April 2023 I visited the very beautiful stately Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, where a passionate team of art lovers gave me a great welcome. The 2nd gallery is in the busy internationally visited harbor town of Honfleur, where the biggest gallery names in France converge.

Huge satisfaction to see that you keep #believing in it, dreaming, taking risks, investing, and above all keep inventing and creating, you get a message to buy your work. Starting in 2009 with image creation, innovating solutions with drones, creations in top sports, the Japanese art project and now the next additional block, full art creation. Both the complex choice of materials, the unique choice of print and the own (partly ai) content creation gives me huge satisfaction. Of course only possible with great professionals in the #team, with whom I work every day. BIG Thank you !

The closing lunch, pleasant conversations and of course the champagne toast to the collaboration are lasting warm memories. Thanks Philippe Siennicka! Galeries Siennicka/Metamorphose Le Touquet/Metamorphose Honfleur

Vive La France ! 040! Strijp-T! DESIGN ! CREATION ! PARIS 2024 ! #art #ai

First cover in the world showing Artificial Intelligence Art

Apr 07, 2023

First cover in the world showing Artificial Intelligence Art

The new work of visual artist Paul Raats has been published on the cover of a magazine ! One of his works called Zahira, has been issued on the business magazine called FRITS. FRITS (https://frits.nl/) has been the leading reading magazine for the Eindhoven Brainport region since November 2008. The magazine is a smoothly written, high-quality, (region) wide journalistic and independent product. The Eindhoven region is one of the fasted growing area's in the world regarding high-tech, innovations, creativitiy and art. A few well known names and area's are ASML, High Tech Campus, TU'e, VDL, soccer team PSV alle based in the Brainport area. surrounded by many start- and scalled ups and mature companies.

For the first time the magazine used an artwork made by Artificial Intelligence in combination with studio design work. As normally a portrait of business person is being used. In the magazine there is a 6 page interview where Raats tells about his life, his career in Telecoms, how he started 13 years ago as a photographer, became one of the first drone pilot's and he growing passion for his  transition into an artist and creating art.

The life experience of travelling to 52 countries, working 13 years with drones, doing aerial photography and video, working as a photographer with Olympic athletes and brands, is a great pool of experience for his art creation. Combining all the disciplines and using new materials and innovations makes him happy and gives him all the freedom for his work. Goals is to be come a global recognized artiest embellishing the most exclusive rooms, houses, villa's and companies. He enjoys to boost interiors and making people happy to enjoy his art that reflects in new energy and inspiration.

Of course the main challenge is to find the right people, channels, galleries, agents to establish an international footprint. Where external investments/participation will help Paul Raats to make new steps. The feedback of the current buyers and people experiencing his work live is just overwhelming and show the potential of reaching many more people.

After 2 years of development we can announce our new art pieces

Jan 09, 2023

After 2 years of development we can announce our new art pieces

What we started 2 years ago and what we dreamed of is now finally hanging on the wall at Strijp-T in our studio. Mixed media, high-quality printing on rice grain plates, diamond plates, leather and wallpaper. Based on our own design in combination with artificial intelligence, we created a number of female portraits. Welcome, among others, Naomi, Sophia, Zahira, and Olivia. The printing process is complex, and in combination with the layers of resin and the burning proces ,we now have something special, and I think also a world first. The communication and color experience that the artworks are giving back is very special, also according to the first reactions of visitors and buyers. My team includes people from international art creation, and print and design specialists. So grateful that we can work and create together with so much passion and energy!! The first works have now been sold in 20023 and in 2 weeks we will go to Paris.....
