Bram van Velde is famous for his abstract and lively paintings, representing expressive forms inspired by French lyrical abstraction. Van Velde was born in Holland and grew up in a family affected by poverty, which would affect him for the rest of his life. His family moved several times, finally settling in The Hague, where van Velde apprenticed for a painting and interior design company and reproduced the works of the Old Masters.
