Arie Otten (born in 1954) is a self-taught visual artist residing in Apeldoorn. Otten's artistic repertoire primarily consists of abstract paintings across various disciplines. His creative expressions are driven by a passion for experimentation and the freedom to explore different techniques and materials. Otten employs acrylic, oil paint, and even biological pigments in his artistic process. Starting with a blank canvas or panel, he gradually shapes his ideas through experimentation. The human element holds a particular fascination for Otten, often resulting in the inclusion of faces in his artwork. Additionally, he also creates abstract landscapes and other impressions in an abstract style.
