Statement
In mijn dagelijkse omgeving vind ik genoeg aanleiding om werk te maken. Ik observeer, raak gefascineerd, maak foto’s of ik genereer beeldmateriaal dat als basis dient.
Mijn werk is veelal figuratief met dikwijls een verhalend element. In mijn werkwijze neem ik de vrijheid om grof en expressief te verbeelden. In grote gebaren zet ik een werk op waarbij kleuren en de lijflijke ervaring met de materialen een belangrijke rol spelen. De onderwerpen die terug te zien zijn in het portfolio variëren van identiteit, hoop, verlangen, de relatie van de mens met de binnen- en buitennatuur en macht.
The everyday environment provides ample inspiration for creating work. I observe, become fascinated, take photos, or generate visual material that serves as a foundation. My work is predominantly figurative, often with a narrative element. In my approach, I take the liberty to depict in a rough and expressive manner. Through bold gestures, I create works where color and the physical experience with the materials play a significant role. The subjects present in my portfolio range from identity, hope, desire, power and the relationship between humans with both the inner and outer nature.
Dialogue with vegetable
Kale, tell me why I need you.
Why couldn’t I think of anything but you?
Kale, I want to touch you.
Kale, I’m going to look at you for a long time, eat you, taste you, smell you, and feel you. Is that okay, Kale?
Kale, I’m going to work with you.
By feeling you, I feel myself.
Kale, just some of your leaves, though.
Tell me, Kale, what are your desires? Mine?
Oh Kale, your stem is rough, dried out, and covered in paint. You tell me to keep going.
You smell a little, Kale. Do you think it’s okay?
Today, you’re more yellow, you tell me to keep going. But Kale, you’re going to die.
Oh don't be afraid
Kool, vertel me waarom ik jou moet hebben. Waarom kon ik aan niets anders denken dan aan jou?
Kool, ik wil je aanraken.
Kool, ik ga je langdurig bekijken, je eten, proeven en ruiken en voelen. Is dat oké Kool?
Kool ik ga met je werken.
Door je te voelen, voel ik mijzelf. Kool, een aantal van je bladeren maar. Vertel me Kool, wat zijn je verlangens? De mijne?
O Kool, je steel is ruw, uitgedroogd, en zit onder de verf. Je vertelt me verder te gaan.
Je ruikt een beetje, Kool. Heb jij het gevoel dat het goed is?
Vandaag ben je geler, je vertelt me door te gaan. Maar Kool, je zult sterven.
Ach wees niet zo bang
