Geer van Velde was a Dutch painter renowned for his lyrical approach to modernist art. He grew up in an artistic family and began his career as a decorative painter before fully dedicating himself to fine art. Alongside his brother Bram van Velde, he moved to Paris, where he was influenced by Cubism and abstract art, but developed a more understated and spiritual style. Geer’s work is characterised by a refined use of light and colour, often seeking to capture the essence and subtlety of objects and spaces. His paintings balance abstraction and figuration, with a particular focus on simplicity and tranquillity.
