schilderen
A lifelong state of migration has given me a deep longing and belonging to a place. This has shaped me both as a person, and as a contemporary artist and painter.
I want to take root— and have the freedom that comes with taking off and letting go. I suppose it’s what unites all species on earth; the great migrational patterns so essential to survival and renewal?
I want nothing more than to stand in visceral communion with the fundamental forces of nature, while working with deliberate abandon. This is what gets me beyond mere depiction and into something that feels real.
My ongoing challenge is to be able to hold the structure of the space through metaphor— and capture the monumental movement of life through the materiality of the paint.
Mostly, I want to share a sense of the beauty and the sublime that is always present “out there” and within.
