About Tania
Creative Art Expression Welcome to Creative Art Expression - May it inspire you.
After a career as a geologist in the oil industry, Tania Hens took up a second career in art in 1999. Until that time, art had been a hobby. Her drawing skills had been remarkable ever since primary school, but her parents convinced her to make a “sensible” career choice in geology. Her first career took her to various places around the globe. She lived in Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Asia. From 2001 to 2005 she and her husband lived on board a sailboat cruising the west coast of Europe, the Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea. They recently settled in Benissa, Spain. The range of cultures she encountered on her travels, the colours and the quality of light have played a role in the style she developed. Her style is very diverse, ranging from very realistic to the abstract. She is inspired by nature, people and music. She uses oil paints, acrylics, water colours, mixed media, silk painting and collages. And yet, her style is very recognisable. Many people can point out her paintings from amongst the works in a joint exhibition. Her works are characterised by vibrant colours, and radiate a certain happiness. From 2005 until 2016 Tania lived in Oman in the Middle East, where her husband continued to work in the oil industry, whilst she concentrated on her art. She had many exhibitions, both joint exhibitions (which she herself often organised for a group of artists) and solo exhibitions in Oman, Dubai and Panama. Her works were sold to buyers from all over the world. One buyer was a member of the royal family of Oman, who bought two paintings. During her first solo exhibition, she auctioned one of her paintings and donated the proceeds to UNICEF. An ambassador was the lucky buyer. In Spain Tania also participated in and organised joint art exhibitions. Tania loves creative expression and finding new ways of creating art. She discovered that the creative process begins with connecting to the inner self and continues with expressing from the Creative Source within. She loves inspiring others to experience this liberating process. Tania gives creative expression workshops to adults and children. To help participants connect to their inner Source she uses a variety of methods such as moving to music or dancing, visualisation, meditation or nature walks. She then invites them to express on canvas what comes from within. She believes the creative process is the same for different forms of creative expression like painting, music, dance, and writing, and originates from our Source within. Tania also offers life coaching.
