Rep Ringel collection

Rep Ringel is a Dutch artist who works across many different art forms. His work combines sound, abstract art, and new materials in a unique way. Rep grew up in a creative family, his mother studied fashion design and his father was a poet. Art and creativity were a normal and important part of his daily life from a very young age. Before he started making visual art, Rep had a career that was always close to beauty and culture. His love for music led him to work as a DJ, where he developed a deep feeling for rhythm, texture and the emotions that music can create. This connection to music became the foundation of everything he does today. He also founded Ringel Design, an award-winning graphic design agency focused on fashion, beauty and cosmetics, industries where the way things look is everything.

Rep’s paintings are based on one simple but powerful idea: every painting starts with one piece of music. He chooses one specific song or composition and plays it on repeat during the entire time he is painting. As the music plays, he translates what he hears, the tension, the quiet moments, the energy and the emotion into large abstract paintings made with acrylic paint. The result is not a picture of the music. It is a visual feeling of it. A painting you can almost hear.
