Originally from Holland impressionist painter Rob Ijbema now lives and works in the Uk His paintings are known for their emphasis on atmosphere, light and movement, rather than detail, which is only hinted at by seemingly random dashes of colour. His combination of a delicate impressionist style with a sense of danger and speed of motor racing, results in powerful artworks.Before turning to paint and brushes to capture racing cars Ijbema was a scratch model builder producing work for the most famous names in the Grand Prix paddocks.MOTOROILS66
