Inside out - Upside down Painting

Series of paintings made during lockdown when we had to stay inside for 8 weeks, inspired on (abstract) landscapes. In my art, photos and writings, I am researching a way to convey and define what I started to call "the soul of aesthetics" or "the aesthetics of the soul". Aesthetics is of course a very stretchable concept which carries the ability to transform the ugly into something precious and vice versa, in relation to prevailing contemporary views. The so-called transformation of the ugly into something beautiful and vice versa connects, contrasting things and disciplines with each other. Undisturbed by rules, with a free mind, developing disciplines connected in mutual relationships. This gives me another reason to persist in what I have mastered in my work during the past years, emphasizing on a humanitarian approach and the presence of personal stories.
