2025: 'Echoes'
"Echoes" delves into the natural flow of fluid paint, merging water, various mixed mediums, and salt to evoke the raw beauty of nature. The work captures the unpredictable essence of creation, where each piece is a constant element of surprise. Inspired by the dark, moody hues of winter, the collection explores the delicate interplay between chaos and harmony, an echo of my inner world connecting with the ever-changing forces of nature.
2024: 'Transformation'
This collection marks the beginning of a transformation: after months spent in vibrant Spain, returning to the Netherlands, embracing how my surroundings shape me. It’s a journey of listening to my inner voice, allowing the process to unfold naturally, embodying acceptance and growth. Rather than resisting the natural influences around me, the work celebrates the impact of my surroundings, allowing them to guide the creative process. The collection embraces the magic of multiple fluid, thin layers of paint on raw canvas: they flow and merge, revealing moments of mystery and transformation, reflecting a harmony between intention and organic unpredictability.
2023: 'In motion'
This collection is deeply inspired by my time in Seville, southern Spain, where vibrant oranges, dynamic energy, and a sense of playfulness fueled my creativity. It marks the beginning of my exploration with thinned acrylics on raw canvas, laid flat on the ground to let the paint and fabric merge naturally. As colors move organically into one another, surprising shapes and compositions emerge, telling a unified story through the fluidity of the process.
