Cor Schaap – Impressionist painter

Cor Schaap grew up in a fishing family and feels a natural connection to the coast—a source of inspiration central to his impressionist oil paintings. Since 2019, he has dedicated himself entirely to visual art, both outdoors and in his studio by the sea.

Sheep's seascapes are part of the collection of Galerie Gabriëls in The Hague, a renowned gallery that has represented works by professional painters since 1974.

Painting 'The (life) sea'

If there was an ocean of time…
people would probably have been in less of a hurry.
If there was a sea of love…
there must have been less violence.
If there were a sea of healing…
all people became better.
The sea, beautiful at times, also full of danger.
That's the sea as I stare at it.
The sea, it brings joy, but also sadness.
That's the sea, that's what I see in it.
The sea cools, the sea devours.
That's the sea, that's what you find in it.
But... the sea, wild and still,
will be as... He wills!
