Happy To Be With You
Over het werk
Most of my work is made in acryl on canvas, sometimes using mixed technique. I choose the size of the canvas depending on the moment and how I feel in that moment. It is the same with the subject I choose. Painting is for me an ongoing dialogue with myself. And if by the end some questions are left unanswered, I let the painting ‘rest’. I give it time and keep looking at it until I find the answer, and I see what is missing. By expressing my true self, I feel I hold space for others to be in touch with their own true self. I don’t intentionally want to communicate something. I tell real stories; I express emotions and inner explorations. I often paint something I see or feel in the back of my mind. And I do believe art should bring joy, both for the one creating it and for the one seeing it. There is joy when our genuine selves meet and can just be in the moment, raw and without judgement.
