A Japanese girl dreamily combs her long hair, but her kitten wants some attention as well!
The young geisha wears a pink kimono with stylized cherry blossom pattern. A comb gently strokes through her long, smooth hair.
I like to depict female figures doing everyday things. I also like to draw patterns myself. In this work you see plenty of them.
The mood of the work is both dreamy and humorous. The kitten has climbed up through her kimono to see what she is doing.
With this work I try to suggest tranquility and dreaminess. I do this through the use of pastel colours, but also by leaving things out. The bow around her middle fades into the background, for example. The movement of her hands also radiates tranquility.
The technique I used is a mixture of drawing and paper cutting. The image is composed of pieces of coloured paper, but much of it is also drawn on.
This work fits nicely into an interior that is quiet, but still needs some extra color. It is beautiful for the bedroom or the living room.
My work distinguishes itself by strong colours and clear shapes. I work with ecoline, ink and pencil, but I also like to cut and paste.
I get my inspiration from nature and like to daydream. Animals and people sometimes seem to melt together in these reveries.
Besides my children's book..
