The sides of the painting are painted
I made this painting because I really love the bronze statue that the famous dutch writer Jan Wolkers made in Groningen. Jan Wolkers inspires me as a writer and as a sculptor. The character Olga to which portrait the sculpture is made, is the main character of the novel 'Turkish Delight' by Jan Wolkers. The statue has a beauty and intimacy that moves me. The tree behind the statue at the painting strengthens this image. I used oilpaint because this material gives the most beautiful colours. Oilpaint is also in my opinion a good medium to express sensitivity and sensibility. This sensitivity comes also alive in the way Olga holds the cat in her arms. I always sign my paintings at the back of the painting, because I feel that signing a painting on the front will take away the feeling of loosing yourself in the painting while you look at it. It is important for me to be able to dream away while I look at my paintings and experience a feeling of joy and peace. The sides of the painting are also painted.

I live in Groningen a town in the north of The Netherlands. I get my inspiration from the living nature, people and the world around me. I love especially the variety and complexity of everyting and everyone who lives in the here (where ever that might be) and the now. I work with oilpaint on canvas because oil gives the best colors. Also oil has the capacity to hold the emotions and the atmospere into the paint. So that if you look at the painting for a longer time it really comes to life. I like to paint directly 'en plein air'. For me color is the most important. Before form there is color.
