Daphne Rijkoort

In my paintings there is always a new perspective. Something new I found out, a new way, a new perspective on painting, on artists, on colours, on life. They show my way of living out of curiosity, finding new depts, new philosophies. Always looking at the artists from before and what they had in common, to learn from their messages and develop my own. Sometimes I turn my paintings around and around even during the painting proces to make them round or to be able to paint. Mostly they are painted by hand using my finger as a tool.

Their names reveal the content. Even for me as an artist their depts keep reveiling years after painting them. I hope they keep doing specifically that for a while…..not only for me, but for many people.
