About The Artwork
Inspired by the story behind the 1992 Nobel Peace Prize (Rigoberta Menchu). The hypocrisy in the "human rights" narrative. Seeing "the world" as only Western.The indian peoples were the first inhabitants of the 'New' World, however they were displaced by European immigrants. Curiously enough they are prohibited to enter the US and seen as 'immigrants' in their own land. "Property" is seen as legitimate in so far this property belongs to non colored people. From a strict legal perspective however they are the original owners of the land. Once stood the ancestors of the Maya at one of the 6 cradles of civilization. Now second class people. I draw/paint the universal emotions of humans confronted with the death of their beloved. No over or under exaggeration. Realism.

Belgium
Born in Roeselare Belgium in 1948. Employed as a chemical engineer in a pigment company. First in production, then in research. Phtalo blue and Prussian blue, yellow and red pigments all colors! In research, the assignment was to make an opaque form of the transparent pigments in an environmentally friendly way (high pressure cooking). Colors were therefore always 'familiar'. Fascinated by drawing from an early age. It was therefore obvious that once retired, a course was followed at the local academy (Kortrijk). Seven-year study drawing and painting. Hereby a special interest in pastel (pure pigment!). But also chalk, acrylic and oil paint. The style is that of the 19th century realists: Courbet, Millet, Meunier. Topics: A critical look at society: The 1940s, 50s, 60s. A panhumanistic vision whereby Western culture is only one among others.A culture who applies other standards to others than to itself....
