Painting is not separate from life. It is one. It is like asking – do I want to live? My answer is yes, and I paint‘
Lee Krasner, 1960
My work consists of oil paintings and metalwork, two completely different disciplines demanding craftsmanship and understanding of materials. Both practices are rooted in the same desire: to honor the process as much as the product.
In painting I am captivated by the play of dark and light and the human form. A light-dark composition acts as a vessel for color. I am currently working on the project Repainting History in which I claim back the female body as female artist.
In metalworking I am fascinated by the contrast of the material, process and product. With a lot of force, heat and noise the cold hard material is turned into something subtle and refined, like a flower. My botanical metalart is available through Galerie Bonnard in Nuenen.
In a world that is about efficiency I like to take my time to research the materials I work with extensively to make my work durable.
