Sans Soucis I Painting

Graphite pencils, crayons, pastel, golden pigments, watercolors on paper with collage June 2013 32 x 22 cm Signed and dated on the back Item comes framed. This antique frame is made of golden colored wood and the size is 17" x 15" (44 x 38 cm). My medium is drawing. The human being is my motive, more specifically the human body and how it relates to clothes, costume, fashion and fabric. I tend to arrange my work in series with scenes reminiscent of masters such as Gustav Kimt or Lucas Cranach. A model is dressed up according to a particular theme. This is the visual basis. The end result, however, is not directly connected to the depicted subject but takes on a life of its own. My work is a never ending process–old drawings get torn to pieces, then brought together in a new way. These old fragments form new canvases on which I draw. Thus my "final" works can be seen as frozen moments in time, parts of an endless inquiry into the human form and nature.
