‘Art is not what you see, but what you show others’ according to Edgar Degas.By this he means that art is not about the outward appearance of something, but about the feeling, perspective or emotion that the artist manages to convey to the viewer.

In this way art becomes a form of communication, inviting others to explore their own interpretations and feelings. This highlights the idea of how powerful art can be in connecting people through shared or unique expierences, even without words.

een landschap zonder tijd

een raam wat niet kijkt

bruggen van woorden in 

verkleuring op het doek

dit verhaal zonder stem 

wat binnen is en buiten wacht

is geen breuk want

wat verloren lijkt

is nu opnieuw beginnen.

To the Paintings

With tis work, I explore the liberation of form from the domination of the flat surface. Carefully balancing postive and negative space, I seek rhythmic tension in the composition, while the minimal color palette emphasises the structural and spatial relationship between the elements. This ‘transitional artwork’ refelects my ongoing exploration os spatial dynamics abd dimensional bounderies in contemporary abstract art.
