'... Van Vollenhoven has been honing his technique in private for a long time...., and he unites the spiritual and the sensual in his paintings. His paint surfaces are succulent and his color sense contributes unerringly to the atmospheric qualities of his fantastic landscapes. '
Byron Coleman, Art critic, New York- USA, May 2003
'It feels like going into a different world made up of peace and love -- love to human fellows and to the Creator of life.'

'The content of the work exhibits a level of infinite possibilities through inferences, symbolism, rigorous color, surrealism, figurative and abstract elements, lyricism and emotive milieu. As a whole, the work achieves poignancy through a unique perspective that resonates throughout the body of work. I feel that the work is marketable and in keeping with the style and quality of work that we like to exhibit at Agora Gallery.'
Director of the Agora Gallery, NewYork USA 2005
'Van Vollenhoven is not only a great artist, but also a brilliant thinker, a philosopher with the brush. Emile's meditative journeys lead him into the Depth of Reality. '
Dr. Friedrich Demolsky, Art Consultant Sanur Bali - The Bali Sun Newspaper Bali March 2004
'... The nuances of his experiences and emotions are evident in the continuous process of addition, discarding and reconsideration. The end result is a thoroughly crafted and emotional painting.'
