Some of Bralds’ most beloved works are his fanciful renditions of cats with their humorous, human-like traits. There’s mystery behind a cat’s eyes in the divinely inspired art of Braldt Bralds. Masterfully creating art that is “of this world, but not in this world,” is his unique artistic talent in paintings that range from realistic, humorous portrayals of cats, to contemplative and detailed still lifes.
Born in the Netherlands into an art-loving culture, Braldt Bralds was very influenced by the works of Dutch Masters such as Rembrandt and Vermeer. He first learned about illustration art from magazine advertisements while still a young child, and from that moment, his course was set. At twelve, he began attending the Grafische School in Rotterdam, where he was instructed in graphic arts and the printing trade. Aside from this formal training, Braldt is primarily self-taught.
He has designed stamp sets for the United Nations’ and the United States Postal Service. In 1989, Braldt received the Clio award for Best Illustration. In 1993, the International Advisory Board of the Art Institute International established a “Braldt Bralds Illustration Scholarship.”
As his illustration career flourished, Braldt continued to develop his fine art. In 1998, he began a body of work, portrayals of exquisitely detailed stones, which debuted in a one-man show, “Stone Lifes,” at the Gerald Peters Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In 2003, he joined the 707 Contemporary Gallery in Santa Fe and was given a solo show, “Souvenirs,” in August, 2004. Newer work includes collaboration with ceramic artist Heidi Loewen.
