Ogen Collage | Iris - Dit vrouwelijk portret werkt als een nieuwsgierige fluistering: twee grote, glasheldere ogen staren je aan vanuit een wirwar van gesneden papierlinten, alsof iemand een gezicht zou ontwarren en opnieuw opbouwen terwijl je toekijkt. Het is een vrouw schilderij dat tegelijk stevig aanwezig is en gefragmenteerd — de ogen zijn scherp, bijna fotografisch, de rest van het gezicht is opgebroken in ritmische, golvende stroken papier. Die tegenstelling geeft het werk zijn spanning: concentratie op blik en emotie, spel met textuur en tijd.
De twee ogen zijn het dominante onderwerp: groot, blauw, met opvallende, losse wimpers en een spiegeling die je het gevoel geeft dat er binnenin een verhaal schuilt. Rondom die ogen vouwen de papieren banden zich als linten over neus en mond, deels geplakt, deels losgevouwen. Elk lint heeft zijn eigen print, krantenachtige typografie of crèmekleurige craquelé, en die prints vormen een soort tweede huid. Daardoor is dit collage schilderij tegelijk portret en materiaalonderzoek: je ziet niet alleen een gezicht, je ziet papier, lijm, kras- en snijlijnen — en het samenspel daarvan creëert ritme en diepte.
De lippen zijn subtiel zichtbaar onder de lagen, zacht geschilderd, iets donkerder van toon dan de omringende papierslingers, wat de mond als ankerpunt maakt zonder de ogen hun dominantie te ontnemen. De gelaagdheid voelt zorgvuldig: tangen van oker- en terra-kleurige stroken doorbreken het neutrale, zwarte en witte papier; soms tekent print zich brutaal af, andere plekken vertonen gebarsten verf en vergeelde kranten. Dat alles maakt dit portret schilderij tactiel — je wilt bijna met je handen langs de lijnen gaan om te voelen waar papier stopt en verf begint.
Wat hier zo werkt is de combinatie van figuratie en collage: het is een vrouw schilderij waarin identiteit letterlijk uit lagen bestaat. De keuze voor uitgesproken ogen en voor de papieren linten lijkt een bewuste thematische keuze: kijken als ontdekken, een identiteit opgebouwd uit verhalen en resten. De technische aanpak — nauwkeurige penseelwerking in de oogpartijen, losse, gescheurde papieren vlakken elders — versterkt het idee van een mens die zichzelf toont door lagen heen. Voor wie zoekt naar een collage schilderij, een portret schilderij of een ogen schilderij, biedt dit werk precies die spanning tussen herkenning en materiaalexploratie.

Great
Firstly, the packaging was excellent, and secondly, I find the entire system, such as the frame and the placement of the canvas, so simple that anyone can do it, so once again, it's magnificent.
