About Henri Vlezenbeek
Henri Vlezenbeek was born on 18 May 1934 in Surabaya on the island Java. Being of Dutch descent, Henri and his family migrated in 1948 to the Netherlands. In his high school years, Henri was introduced to the works of several famous Dutch artists like Rembrandt, Monet, van Gogh and many others. As well as modern artists like the CoBrA group and Picasso. He was deeply captured by their work and as a young man he desired to be an artist himself.
Henri travelled many times through Europe to the Ardennes in Belgium, the Toscana in Italy, to Spain and throughout most of France, his favourite European country, and within the Netherlands. Henri’s tropical origin in Indonesia had etched in him an unquenching appreciation for colour and light which he imbeds in his Impressionist Art.
Inspired by all his travels, Henri expressed his love for nature and bright colours, by painting a vast variety of sceneries of landscapes, trees and flowers. Frequently his images were almost abstract, but always breathtaking and captivating with moving colours that seems to bring his paintings to life.
About Moving Colours
My father, Henri Vlezenbeek, passed away in September 2021. Henri has been a very productive artist and has had numerous exhibitions. With his passing, I inherited many (more than 1300) of his colourful oil paintings.
The colours in Henri’s paintings seem to be moving, evoking emotions. They move us! Hence the name of my gallery:
Moving Colours.
I believe my father’s original oil paintings, or the high-quality fine art (Giclée) prints, or posters are an absolute joy to look at. A welcome and colourful addition to any home. They are true Wall Art. Through my online gallery www.movingcolours.com.au my father’s legacy is kept alive.

Wild Flowers on Texel
Flowers Collection
Description:
Henri loved his nature trips. This painting is from a summer trip to Texel, the 1st of a strain of the Dutch North Sea Islands, at the North of the Netherlands. These coast and agricultural fields have many lush grass fields with wild flowers blowing in the never-ending and relentless wind.
Spring in the Heart, 2001
Flowers Collection
Description:
Henri can't contain himself! Apart from painting an opulent and colourful garden; he is writing within the painting and at the back his feelings. They seem to completely overwhelm him. Henri had to give the painting several titles; seeing the various writing styles and markers, with underlining, exclamation mark, using an arrow, he really used all he had to express himself. I believe Henri is overjoyed because of his 4 grandchildren. With its last edition, Alyssa, born just a few months before this painting.
