I strive to express a feeling of love and intimacy in an abstract way, without becoming distant. In my paintings I always look for people to be shown in an open way, so that you (the viewer) can identify your own feelings and give them a place. I like to express emotions of happiness, togetherness and comfort. I do this in a direct way. Immediately I put the paint on canvas, in this painting I had an idea in advance of what I wanted to portray, as I had made a sketch on paper. The painting continues while I work on it and I like to give space to the spontaneous developments between the paint, the canvas and the movement of my hand with a brush and palette knife. There is a lot of structure in the painting and there are also lines painted directly from the paint bottle. The combination of warm and cool tones (also silver) represent for me the totality of life, as well as light and shadow, warmth and coolness.
