Blankert's unique style is based on well-balanced and precise composition and several coats of paint. He paints in an academic style with a deep knowledge of structure. Objects such as table, chair and his violin are favorite themes that he uses often in his paintings. The particular combination of objects appear to suggest a hidden symbolism and details like the worn chair seat, the paint tube and floor lines seem to tell a story and invite us to unravel the mystery." http://www.collectieharms
