Artist Han Mes, studied at the Institute for Applied Arts Education (Amsterdam). After completing her education, she left for Paris, where she developed a preference for medieval art through frequent museum visits. Inspired by this medieval symbolism, Han Mes created her own visual language. Han Mes is a painter who likes to work with oil paint. In this way, Mes is able to provide her work with layers of paint in order to achieve a certain texture. She likes to paint hard shadows and large areas of color. Han Mes' main source of inspiration is people, life, this fascinates her immensely. Each painting tells a story, and together they tell her life story. Han Mes received a work grant from the French state and as a result she lived and worked in Paris for a number of years. The exhibitions in the Singer Museum in Laren brought her recognition and appreciation. In 2011, Han Mes had a solo exhibition in Bergen: Hommage aan Han Mes 75 jaar.
