Herman Tulp was born in Zwolle in 1955 and completed his training at Academie Minerva, the academy of art in Groningen, in 1980. Among his teachers were the renowned Dutch painters Wout Muller and
DiederikKraaijpoel.Tulp developed into a painter who paid great
attention to detail, and he became known for his intricate and intimate
still lives.
In recent years the female nude has played a central role in his
paintings. The models he portrays radiate both strength and gentleness
and are often situated in dreamy spaces.
His repertoire also includes houses, trains, cows and landscapes.
His work is available via Galerie Wildevuur (Hooghalen) and Galerie
Utrecht. A number of his paintings form part of the collections of
Museum Møhlmann and the Drents Museum; others are in private collections
all over the world.
