About

Based in the heart of Europe, Vita Schagen is a contemporary fine artist dedicated to capturing the elusive interplay of light, texture, and atmosphere. Her work is a profound celebration of the present moment — a philosophy born from a deep understanding of life's fleeting nature.

Vita’s creative process is an intuitive dialogue with the canvas. Starting with bold, expressive layers of color, she allows the oil paint to dictate the rhythm of the piece. Using a palette knife to build rich, impasto textures, she translates raw emotion into vibrant visual narratives that sit at the intersection of traditional impressionism and modern expressionism.

For Vita, painting is more than the creation of an image; it is an act of preserving the ephemeral beauty of the world. Whether capturing the golden glow of a European city or the quiet intimacy of an interior, her works invite the viewer to pause and experience the joy of pure observation.

Her paintings are held in private collections worldwide, resonating with those who seek art that is both technically masterful and emotionally resonant.
