About the artwork

The meaning of the Japanese term 'Wabi Sabi' is difficult to put into words. But what is clear is that Wabi Sabi does not emphasise perfection and 'bling bling' but rather focuses on the power of the imperfect.

'Wabi Sabi' says: Even something that is incomplete, something that is unfinished and in which transience becomes visible, can be very beautiful. Think of a tree leaf blowing off a tree in autumn: when it lands on the ground, the leaf pulp decomposes but the network of veins that remains is a work of art in itself!

WAbi Sabi is thus a way of seeing and has to do with beauty of that which is unfinished, that which is created 'by chance'.

With this idea, this concept, I set to work, playing with fused paraffin and oil pastels, with water colours and ink. It also involved bister: an ink, a brown earthy colour, based on the bark of walnuts. Letting the paraffin wax and ink do its thing created shapes and marks, lines and colours.
The result was certainly not a perfect picture, but a creative play of lines, shapes and colours in different structures and with sobriety as the trump card.

A piece of work that turned out to be imperfect, sober and imperfect, but for that very reason radiates immense beauty and tranquillity!
