Statement
My art produces beauty,
not meaning…
During my studies I was asked what my work was actually about. Like many students, I had no answer at the time. I only knew that I really wanted to make things. For me, art is not an object but an optical experience. The relationship between effort and effect is what fascinates me.
I investigate colour harmony, but also the contradictory relationship between stacked colours. And certainly, also an exploration of conflicting colour relationships. It is an almost endless experiment to create a dynamic, imaginary work, energetic and intense.
I have done all kinds of things and especially searched for a freer way to express myself. Cotton yarn turned out to be a material that I could claim for myself. And in colour I found a new language. When 'weaving' the colours are created 'line by line', only at the end do you see the coherence and balance, just like in a poem. As Van Gogh once said it: “You can already speak of poetry by just arranging colours well”.
The distinct use of colour is the first thing that catches the eye when you look at my works. For me, colours are entities in themselves and I always choose my colours intuitively. Also Kandinsky showed me the way in that respect: “Colour is the key. Let ideas float freely. Minds complete the artwork.”
My works require a primitive approach, without the expectation of finding a translation or deeper meaning. There is nothing that you need to bring with you to that experience, except your own thoughts and your own sense of space.
Art is a feeling. It’s a joy for all the senses caught in a moment.
