Within our modern society individuals seem to be increasingly searching for, and in the need of, depth. Paving the way to a quest determined by challenging the meaning of life, authenticity and self-reflection, ultimately leading to self-acceptance and development. My work fits these times, as they reflect the evolution of this individual consciousness. My work shows the human being in optimal color and clarity. Which could be confronting as it requires a level of self-acceptance, 'Oh, is this how you see me'.
My technique of Egg-tempera provides me with the tools to convey the strength and vulnerability a person can radiate. Composing intimacy through preciseness of my conceptional approach. I experience that through my sharp eye, empathetic character and craftwomanship as a painter, I can accurately illustrate and portray the human being. I can add a piece of essence to an ancient portrait tradition, looking past concepts such as status, power or fashion.
My last series is called 'Ancestors': Illustrating ancestors and their off-spring, young individuals and the influence of family energies.
