Ramon Otting
Painter of landscapes shaped by place, presence and the natural world
Ramon Otting (Netherlands) is a painter whose work navigates the intersection between landscape and inner experience. He works with natural pigments, layered brushwork and soil collected from the places he paints, creating surfaces that hold both physical matter and emotional resonance.
A landscape is never just a view.
Otting’s practice is grounded in attention and atmosphere: he treats the landscape not as a scene, but as an interior terrain - a way of sensing, remembering and being. His paintings evoke movement, depth and a strong sense of place.
QUI A PEUR DES COQUELICOTS?
Who is afraid of poppies?
For REVUSD, Ramon Otting continued an existing linen painting - a canvas that had lived in his studio for years - extending its colours, pigments and energy onto the leather of the bag.
Pigments mixed by hand.
Using natural pigments and soil from Provence, the landscape shifts into a new form: a painting in motion, travelling with the person who carries it.
The result is a limited edition that holds the pulse of a place. Bold, quiet, human.
Not a landscape applied to a bag.
A landscape becoming one.
Alive in texture.
Rooted in touch.
And carrying a question at its core:Who’s afraid of poppies?
