Welcome!

My name is Andreas de Bruin. I come from the beautiful old city of Delft in the Netherlands, which is known for, among other things its idyllic canals and alleyways, historic architecture, the many courtyards and bridges, the beautiful manor houses and the clouds looming over the sea. These impressions brought me into contact with painting and mindfulness at an early age.

While completing my undergraduate degree, I had the opportunity to work for six months at the world-famous Delft De Porceleyne Fles ceramics factory, known worldwide as Royal Delft. The dedication and concentration of the artists there when painting the “Delft Blue” earthenware was very impressive and inspiring, as was the atmosphere in the various workshops.

Then, in 1991, I encountered meditation as a technique for the first time and began to meditate. Since then, mindfulness and meditation have become an inner compass for me, giving me not only direction but also the strength to shape my life’s path up to this point.

With the aim of sharing my experiences, this website provides images of my paintings, as well as free publications for download. I hope you enjoy it!
