 ‘About Rolf Bakx'

Born and raised in the southern part of The Netherlands with etiquette, broad orientation, creativity in words and action and above all freedom in thought and doing business alike.
Well over 30 years of experience in the Interior Design Industry, of which most recent years employed as a Director at international interior fabric house “The ROMO Group”. 
Ever since my early years I have been interested in design and vintage furniture, which led me to become a real collector.
A lot of designer objects passed through my fingers in both purchase and sales.

 Supervised a number of very large home renovations in the Netherlands. As a result I became familiarised with materialisation, layout, construction and design. 
Coming up with ideas how to furnish, dress and style showrooms and trade fairs always gave me a lot of energy and satisfaction. 

Living in Portugal since 2022 and currently independently renovating several houses;
adjusting the layout and design whilst using local vintage and natural building materials.

 Next to that, I still have plenty of room to let my creativity flow, more than ever, in the form of making art and
applying this growth to the previous mentioned homes.

‘About Art’

Chantal studied textile, fashion and interior design, where model drawing and compositions were a focal point.
“After my creative studies, I took lessons in drawing, abstraction and mixed techniques by different artists
and studied 17th-century painting techniques for three years.”

"In my Artwork I mixed studies in techniques of the 17th Century Art, Contemporary and Figurative Art.
A detail in a Landscape, an Antique object or Patterns of Interior or Fashion Fabrics inspires me to create my Artwork.
Mediums I use consist of Oils, Acrylics, Charcoal and Silver & Gold Leaves."

“The contemporary time in which we live inspires me. Identity ‘awakening in time and memory’
the undergoing transformations. A journey to an inner mature consciousness. The change process takes place in everyone’s inner world.”

"I collarborate with Interior Designers and Decorators for Residential Interiors in Amsterdam, UK, France and Portugal. 

Her Artwork was exhibited in Luxembourg, in Museums Portugal and she exhibits regularly in Portugal and The Netherlands. 

"I work ‘in the style of’ existing paintings from my collections and in colour schemes for your interior projects."
