All auctions / Contemporary Art / Hamelink - Some Are Born Great


This original painting by Bart Hamelink, titled Some Are Born Great, combines bold pink letters with a deep black background. The text is inspired by a famous quote from William Shakespeare: “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.” The rough, expressive letters give the work a quirky character. The painting is about ambition, self-worth, and the different paths to greatness. For the pink letters, Amsterdam Acrylic Paint – Persian Rose (Persian Rose), color number 330, was used.
