Diamond Painting: Lucia Van Den Berg

Lucia van den Berg, originally from a small town in the Netherlands, discovered her love for art as a child, inspired by the beautiful tulip fields and windmills that surrounded her home. The vivid colors and tranquil beauty of her homeland became a constant source of inspiration for her art. Van Gogh's enchanting depictions of the Dutch countryside deeply influenced her, as did the intricate patterns and symbolism of Gustav Klimt's works.

However, Lucia's passion for art was not limited to local landscapes. As a young adult, she embarked on numerous trips, exploring various landscapes around the world. Her works, created primarily with wood pencils and sometimes combined with digital art, reflect the diverse environments she encountered.

Her work "Macaw Family" was inspired by her time in South America, where she was captivated by the vibrant colors and sounds of the jungle. "Mountain Escape" and "Field of Fragrance" reflect her travels in Canada and France, respectively, while "Sakura no Tancho" was inspired by a visit to Japan, where she fell in love with the serene beauty of traditional Japanese architecture and the symbolic trees of the crane and cherry blossom.

Despite her talent, Lucia remains a relatively unknown artist. She has always preferred the quiet solitude of her travels and the comfort of her small studio in the Netherlands to the spotlight. She continues to travel and create, driven not by the desire for recognition, but by the joy of capturing the beauty of the world in her art. Her works, which are snapshots of a time and place, are cherished by those lucky enough to come across them.
