ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Temples and shrines are everywhere in Japan and going there to seek good fortune is a very common. Each temple has it’s own deity(s) who all watch over different aspects of human life. On New Years Day, you go to pray for good fortune for the new year, if you have an important exam, you pray for a good outcome, if a family member is ill, you pray for their recovery, if you go on a trip, you pray for a safe journey. At most temples you can also receive an ‘Omikuji’ (a paper fortune) if you receive a good fortune you bring the paper home with you, if the fortune is bad you will tie it to a string, the idea being that you leave the bad fortune behind when you leave. In Japan you cannot escape the fact that the country will be hosting the Olympics in 2020, the term 20/20 has almost become synonymous to ’The Olmpics’ for people living here. Entering a new decade and looking at the future I sure hope we left all the bad fortune behind and of course said an extra little prayer for our Olympic Athletes! This mixed media painting on authentic, handmade Washi (Japanese paper) with beautiful natural edges on all sides. The painting is created using a combination of image transfer and acrylic paints and mediums. The artwork is signed on the front and has title, date, artist name on the back. It comes with a signed certificate of authenticity from the artist.

Leaving the Netherlands was a breeze. Japan didn’t scare me, America didn’t intimidate and Canada is as easy-going as it gets. The thing that frightens me, is creating Art. For the longest time, I believed I was the master of my craft. I strode into my studio with confidence to create bodies of work like Traveling the World and World on Washi. In my bubble, I reigned supreme. Then, one day I realized that the spaces I thought I controlled were fortified by the perceived expectations of the people around me. Their silent influence spawned countless rules, suffocating the artist within. It dawned on me—I shouldn't be making the rules at all. I have been creating Art for a decade and a half, and right now my studio in Canada is the most terrifying and exhilarating place to be. Inside, the Art decides the destination, where it leads I will follow. An old man once told me: “It’s dangerous to go alone!” So, will you join me on this quest? Together we will explore ‘Unveiling’ a boundless realm of vibrant hues and delicate textures. Step into my world, explore my art and meet the versions of myself I once knew. Let's embark on an adventure of discovery.
