Notes
"Conrad Theys reveals versatility in his work that knows no limits. During his artistic career he not only painted in oils, but mastered pastels, watercolours and all forms of graphic arts. About artistic medium he notes: 'I prefer oil because it is so plastic, but I still use a brush and stretched canvas, because I enjoy the almost living quality of the bristles and the way the brush gives way. To me it is like music!"
