About the artist:
Simon Sint, born in Amsterdam on June 9, 1926, attended a private drawing school in Amsterdam after graduating from high school.
In his career as a visual artist, two types of landscapes fascinated him: the vastness, the skies and the intimacy of the polders around Wilnis, where he lived, and the warmth of the French landscape of Argentat in the Dordogne and Corrèze to the east. , where he spent part of the year for a long time. He mastered many techniques: gouache, watercolor, oil paint, woodcut and pen drawing.
An allergy to oil paint led him to focus on watercolor painting. He made all his works in daylight, artificial light was not for him.
Sint used his talent to capture all facets of nature on canvas and paper. Characteristic of his landscapes is a special play of light and backlight, which renders the atmosphere of the Dutch or French landscape unparalleled.

Besides being a painter, Sint was also a musician. As a guitarist he played with the Chicos, founded in 1947, and from the early 1980s he formed the Hot Club des Peintres with other visual artists. Cowboy style and French style jazz were favourites.
Simon Sint died on November 24, 2007 in Wilnis.
Numerous watercolors of Sint are part of the collection of Kunstuitleen de Ronde Venen.
