a prayer
for love and care
for respect and tolerance

Surrender
2023
Watching the news and seeing the terrible situation in Israel and Gaza, gives a knot in my stomach… So many victims. So many innocent people who are trapped in a situation were they didn’t choose for… sometimes it really hurts how this world feeds my inspiration…

Devotion
2023
Just like my previous painting 'Locked in mind', this painting is inspired by a little poem of Erin Hanson:
"There is a freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask "What if I fall?"
Oh but my darling, What if you fly?"
It is a promise, an invitation to embrace your fears, to take risk, even if there is a chance of failure. Because even failure make you grow.

Stand out
2023
For this commissioned piece the client asked me if I could make a painting with a coot. The reason was simple; she likes these animals, especially because of their remarkable big feet. So I thought about it and came up with an idea of a baby coot. These little chicks not only have enormous feet, they are also 'born' with an amazing costume. If you compare them with little ducklings, you probably will say they are not as cute. They look a little weird, strange, different... But although the surrounding would sometimes say something else, it is good to be different, to be unique and to 'stand out'. When I send the proposal to the client it was amazing to hear her reaction. Without knowing I created an image that was meant to be hers. Born with red hair, being different turned out to be the recurring theme in her life... And so this commissioned piece became a very personal painting.
