an image of the french photographer Charles Fréger inspired me to paint this portrait of a girl. I took the title "innocence" for this painting, a little thin slim girl who wanted to go swimming, but the water seems to be a dark dirty mud bath, such as the way some animals, especially birds, can no longer follow their instincts and do what their nature tell them to be, because we made a mess of their environment and turned it into an oilbath, that turned into their deathbed... and they died an innocence death... this painting, the original, is sold in october 2011 at the exhibition "hanging out in history" in Galerie Pinsart in Bruges, Belgium.

Belgium
Karien Deroo lives and works in Sint-Laureins, a small village between Bruges and Ghent, Belgium. Karien Deroo paints in an autodidactic way, inspired by the classical tradition of the old masters. Her style is highly figurative but with a strong contemporary and timeless perspective. In her paintings Karien Deroo explores the hidden history of the individual. Although a variety of hidden emotions and deeply buried secrets reveal some typical inner struggle, we can't detect any explicit external emotion in her characters. The figures seem in a contemplative mood, captured on the canvas. They are snatched out of a context that we can only guess, caught in their own turmoil. It's a snapshot where the gaze of the character lingers with the viewer and leaves him or her contemplative as well. The characters painted by Karien Deroo have different layers, not only in the literal sence of paint but also in the invisible compexity of their feelings.
