Henk Vandenberg studied at the Academy of Visual Arts in Rotterdam
from 1980 until 1985.
He graduated in the subjects of drawing, painting
and graphical arts. During his studies he attended classes of Cees Spermon,
Jaap van den Ende and Hannes Postma.
After a period in which Henk Vandenberg made abstract work, he became more and more interested in the perception
of pictorial space in painting.
Simultaneously he became aware of the fact
that the subjects and forms he used, started to develop into figuration,
landscape figuration in particular. In order to get more opportunities for
developing the subject of pictorial space, van den Berg gradually decided
to become a landscape painter.
Van den Berg is convinced that, he can develop
his interest in pictorial space in landscape painting. Furthermore, it gives
him the opportunity to show this perception of pictorial space to the public.
Van den Berg received two art prizes :
VBKD Generale Bankprijs.
a Grant
from the Ary Scheffer Fund in 1999 Dordrechts Museum.
