This is one of a series of three paintings, in subdued shades of grey, green and blue, show landscapes marked by a deep stillness after devastation. Made with encaustic wax - a mix of beeswax and oil paint - the medium gives a bright depth and texture to these abstract-realist visions of icy, windswept regions.
Some of the inspiration comes from the Frisian mythology of the Oera Linda book, a world recreated by catastrophic events, a time when the earth trembled and ancient lands disappeared. But these are not simple images of destruction. Inside each canvas is a small, almost invisible, egg-shaped object with three red dots. This enigmatic symbol points to a force beyond natural disaster, a hint of external influence on the Earth's dramatic transformation.
The landscapes themselves, though abstract, bear the burden of loss and the immensity of time. The subdued colours and waxy texture create a sense of unease and a certain awe. The aim is not to provide easy answers, but to arouse curiosity and reflect on cycles of destruction, lost histories, and the potential, however subtle, influence of unseen forces that shape our world. These paintings invite the viewer to question silence and contemplate the echoes's of a forgotten past.
