Biography
Carel Willink was a Dutch painter. He is seen as the most important painter of magical realism, a painting style that creates an alienating atmosphere with light, colour, form and depth. The representations look real, but are only possible in fantasy. Willink himself did not like the name 'magic realism', he preferred to call it 'imaginary realism', the painting of the imagination as realistic as possible. In his paintings Willink combined technical perfection, photorealism and an extreme sense of detail with a threatening, mysterious and unreal atmosphere.
Exhibitions and prizes Carel Willink's work can be found in various Dutch museums, including the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and the Rijksmuseum.
