ABOUT

All works have their own specific meaning of course, but the common denominator  could be described as following; from a curiosity towards the world around us, (especially the natural world, how we interact, experience, enjoy, destroy or care for) research is developed. Research for a better understanding of the elements of that world, research to the emotions that go along with it. Association, recognition, connectivity, experience and observation. A celebration of al that is extraordinary surrounding us, as well as a warning for the fragility of that natural world.

Alongside the conceptual research there is the material research.

By using different ways one can apply paint I seek contrast, tension and harmony within each painting. Transparent and thick, spacious and flat, detailed and sketchy, shiny and matt, sometimes combined with embroidery. This materiality forms a rich imagery where the viewer can wonder; I would like people to use this wonder as starting point for their own story, research and/or curiosity.
