nobody is bulletproof, black and white Drawing

Van Adel stands at the confluence of fluidity and form, bridging the delicate worlds of watercolor painting and paper sculpture with unparalleled grace and creativity. With a deep-rooted passion for exploring the ephemeral beauty of nature and emotions, Van Adel's work captures the transient moments of life, immortalizing them in muted watercolor and meticulously sculpted paper. Artist harnesses the unpredictability of watercolors to depict scenes that pulsate with life, energy, and movement. This mastery of the medium is complemented by an innovative approach to paper sculpture, where paper is not just a canvas but a living, breathing entity that is folded, curved, and sculpted into intricate three-dimensional forms that challenge the viewer's perception of space and depth. Van Adel's artistic journey began in the serene countryside, where the subtle beauty of the natural world became a constant source of inspiration. This connection to nature is evident in every piece, serving as a reminder of the beauty that surrounds us and the fleeting moments that make life precious.
