KRIEG

Francien Krieg is a Dutch painter who has made a name for herself by painting older naked women. Her artwork is recognized for its unique celebration of the female form, particularly those of older women, and for challenging traditional beauty standards. Krieg's work often portrays women in their natural state, without the artificial enhancements commonly found in the media. This depiction of older women in their raw and unapologetic form is not only empowering but also an important step towards breaking the stigma surrounding aging and the female body. In addition Francien paints subjects in dream states and states of sleeping.  Also, her pieces incorporate elements of fire and water in selected works.  Her work can be found in the permanent collection of over 5 different museums to include; MEAM Museum, the Scheringa Museum of Realist Art, and the Stichting Museum.
