Do you realise you are made of stars? My paintings and prints are an everyday reminder of our divine nature. An interplay of darkness and light, in a balanced outburst of colours. What started as my own exploration of the world, whereby the spiritual island of Bali has been one of the most profound game changers, is becoming more and more universal everyday.
Do you want an everyday reminder of your colourful essence?
“Wat vind jij het allerbelangrijkste in een relatie?” de vraag galmde door de schrille zaterdagavondlucht. Ik hoefde niet lang na te denken over het antwoord. “Eerlijkheid”. “Dat is te makkelijk” antwoordde hij resoluut. “Geef jij iemand ook de juiste bedding voor die eerlijkheid? Ik bedoel......

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.
