As a highly sensitive young girl, I was already able to feel energies most people don’t feel. By then I wasn’t yet aware of the unique gifts I have, and it scared the hell out of me. As expected I went to university and got my International Business Communication Masters degree. Meanwhile surpressing my highly sensitive nature. A visit to the magical and spiritual island of Bali in 2014, proved to be a profound game changer. I found my tribe and opened up to my unique gifts.
I discovered I was able to become the empty vessel and let what needs to be spoken, be spoken through me by means of colours. What started as a journey of a scared little girl depicting her journey and portraying her exploration, is becoming more and more universal as emptying myself out is an ongoing process. The extremely healing effect my paintings have on people, made that I was finally able to embrace, love and appreciate my true nature.
Being a writer myself too, I am familiar with the Tao concept which says that words are nothing more than fingers poiting to the moon. By focusing on the fingers, you will never experience the moon. Since words are always bound to grammar and social structural agreements, I find even more freedom of expression in the art of painting.
