Brighart, abstract expressive artist, born 1956 in Amsterdam. She attended workshops and classes of Femia Morselt. From 2004 till 2007,Brighart worked full-time as an abstract artist at WBK Vrije Academie werkplaats (studio) voor beeldende kunsten in The Hague.From  2010-2011 she studied Graphs and drawing at the Willem de Kooning academic. Brighart's colourful modern paintings are rich in shades of red.   At the momement I,am working with layers of transparent acryl-paint.(Lascaux). Some times I,am using glass beads.(See Flirti bird). Artist statement : The idea that artists have a special role to play in bringing peace to people and countries appeals very much to me 'Participating in this 'struggle for peace;  fits in with the way I work and why I paint.' Positive energy Brighart's oeuvre radiates positivism, energy and warmth. Energy and movement are the subjects that inspire Brighart to make her paintings and prints. 'Everything is energy, everything is in movement. That energy and power is what I want to express in my paintings.  Whatever you pay attention to, grows. That is why I would rather focus on the glass that is half full, on love, on happiness. Or, as Popper put it, 'Optimism is a moral duty.'
