Original Paintings by Mathias – The Soul of Amsterdam and Beyond

 

Step into a world where every brushstroke tells a story, and every canvas pulses with emotion. At Kleine Atelier, located in the heart of Amsterdam's historic Jordaan district, you'll find the original works of Mathias – an artist whose paintings are anything but still.

Mathias doesn’t just paint — he captures movement, tension, light, and the fleeting heartbeat of a moment. His unique style, defined by expressive, trembling lines and intense color palettes, brings a vibrating energy to each composition. These aren’t passive landscapes or distant cityscapes — they are alive, dynamic, and deeply personal.

In his gallery, you’ll discover paintings that reflect both the beauty and the chaos of city life, nature, and emotion. His Amsterdam Series celebrates the city’s canals, narrow streets, rainy days, and everyday magic. Walk through the Dutch Cities and Netherlands, where iconic windmills and rural stillness meet the boldness of his artistic voice.

Mathias’s art also extends into bold themes:

• Animals – from powerful rhinos and bulls to playful pigs and horses.

• Flowers – expressive tulips, wild sunflowers, and intense bouquets that radiate emotion.

• Cartoon Art   – a colorful and expressive childhood memory

• Classic Cars – nostalgic yet reinvented through his explosive style.

• Impressions – collection round out a catalogue rich in theme and imagination.

Each piece is a one-of-a-kind original, painted in acrylic on canvas and signed by the artist. These are not just paintings to hang on a wall — they are statements, emotional anchors, and invitations to see the world differently.

If you’re looking for contemporary art with soul, color, and authenticity — this is it.

One Painting, One Story | Street of Amsterdam – Red Bike | Painting by Mathias

 

A celebration of color, rhythm, and city life

The city of Amsterdam is full of rhythms. The gentle flow of canals, the clinking of bike chains, the sharp angles of gabled houses — all of it weaves together into one continuous, living painting. And on this canvas, Mathias captures the spirit of the city with his unmistakable signature: expressive lines, vibrant tones, and the pulse of a moment frozen in movement.

“Street of Amsterdam – Red Bike” is more than just a street view. It’s a story. A red bicycle rests in the foreground, almost glowing with its energy. Behind it, the facades of historic Dutch houses rise like colorful characters — bold, leaning slightly, as if in mid-conversation. A lantern hovers above, marking this as a moment suspended in time, glowing with nostalgia and light.

Mathias’s brushwork is anything but still. With each sweeping curve and controlled chaos, he brings Amsterdam to life — not as it looks on a postcard, but as it feels in your chest on a breezy afternoon ride. The background blurs and dances in bright hues of blue, pink, and emerald green, echoing the city's playful complexity.

This painting speaks to dreamers and wanderers — to those who’ve been to Amsterdam and left a piece of their heart on its cobbled streets, or to those who long to get lost in its charm. It’s a perfect piece for modern interiors that crave color and emotion, or for anyone wanting a touch of Dutch soul in their daily view.

Whether you're an Amsterdam local, a traveler at heart, or simply an art lover drawn to expressive cityscapes, this painting invites you to slow down — just for a moment — and take a ride through a city that never stops moving.
