Carl Brenders





    Description:
    I wanted to concentrate on the spirit of the arctic wolf and feel myself a part of the pack, discussing strategy for our next hunt. Having fantasies such as these helps to create more uncommon paintings."

    --- Carl Brenders
    Biography:
    The artistic visions of Carl Brenders reflect his respect for nature. His precise and lively paintings capture the extreme realism of the birds, mammals, and habitats he depicts. Brenders paints every detail of his wildlife images--feathers, hair, leaves, or lichens--until, he says, "they get into my skin." Brenders has studied at the Fine Arts Academy in Antwerp and later at Berchem. His artwork is regularly exhibited in the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum's prestigious "Birds in Art" and "Wildlife in Art" shows. He is widely collected in North America, France, Germany, Japan, Spain, Holland, Argentina, and in his native Belgium. Brenders combines his dreams, his senses, his imagination, and his strict attention to anatomical perfection to create his paintings. He says, "Nature is already beautiful, already perfect. That is why I paint the way I do with so much detail and so much realism--I want to capture that perfection."
