The painting "Autumn Leaves" captures the essence of the season with a vibrant play of colors and textures. The wide range of warm autumnal tones is articulated through thick and expressive layers that evoke both the solidity of falling leaves and the transience of light. The subtle rhythm of the brushstroke invites the viewer into a reflective state, where the ephemeral beauty of nature is celebrated and becomes timeless. Keuls' mastery of paint and atmosphere transforms this piece into an emotional mirror of the cycle of nature.

Hans Keuls (1956) belongs to the generation of the New Landscape Painters, who reflect a renewed, even romantic, belief in traditional painting as a means of structuring and transforming emotions. His paintings are constructed with layered, paste-like brushstrokes that arrange the inner chaos into harmonious and rhythmic compositions, creating a serene and meditative effect. With a deep fascination with nature and rhythm, Keuls uses energetic brushwork and a vivid sense of color to evoke both emotion and tranquility. His work has been exhibited in several collections and continues to be recognized for its powerful expression and contemplative balance.
