This little boy runs along the beach at sunset.
He dreams of one day winning gold medals and becoming the fastest in the world; The Golden Boy
Children inspire me. Their ability to transcend any rotten situation is amazing. Playing tag in the ruins of a bombed-out city. Playing football in the most miserable neighbourhoods. They are always looking for the light. Dreaming of a big bright future. They save the future that our generations really messed up and don't even blame us for it. If only we could preserve the child in ourselves a bit more, we wouldn't be in such a mess. Art can help us find our childlike innocence again
In this Mixed Media artwork, I have used Acrylic paint mixed with heavy gel pastes as a substrate to create a 'concrete look'.
Over that, I worked with acrylic, watercolour, pastel, ink and pencil.

I remembered that as a young girl I so much liked to cut images from magazines to paste them into school agendas, scrapbooks and even on my bedroom door. Add to this the fascination I always had for walls filled with old posters, flaking paint, scrappy billboards and weathered paint, it opened an unexpected door for completely new opportunities. Completely unintended I found a new way of working, I felt pleasurably and comfortably at home in. What started out as copying old walls with worn out posters has grown into many series of new visual storytelling. Not simply just eclecticism, but bringing together many seemingly incoherent story lines into one completely new story, my own personal story. Initially it lacked the one thing that is important to me, the transparency that normally only is possible with the use of watercolor. The unforgiving layering of transparent watercolors is a challenge I would not want to miss and after a lot of trial and error I finally succeeded in getting the collages as transparent as a watercolor. Every layer of paper, oil, acrylic, pencil, crayon, ballpoint, watercolor, ink, charcoal and whatever else I use, remains visible in the artwork. You can imagine it made me feel the queen of the ball !
