Caroline Bijvoet

painting - installation

Caroline Bijvoet looks at the familiar, self-made environment of man from a special perspective. Her background as an architect reveals itself in the choice of subject. Space travel is translated into oil paint and acrylic on canvas or panel. At first the work evokes recognition, but upon closer inspection there is always something surreal, something elusive. Where does man stand?
