#729 - The egg-eaters Painting

Under the roof of my home is my studio where houseplants, paintings and paint dominate. A space that is increasingly taking shape and filling up. A floor that shows more and more traces of hard work. A collection of works that continues to grow and that tell my story. I want to capture my memories with my paintings. I'm always looking for interesting colours and color combinations. The influence that colours have on each other continues to fascinate and surprise me. In a suggestive way I paint situations and scenes that seem very familiar. Because the characters that inhabit my paintings are unrecognisable and therefor anonymous, these scenes are presented to the viewer as a template for a shared memory or recognition. When on the road I document locations and situations with my mobile phone. Back home, I look for an interesting composition or a fascinating play of planes and lines. I try to create a recognisable image with only a few colours or shades. A frozen scene, a silent testimony, a muffled world.
