ABOUT THE ARTWORK

'The Fun Of Being Colour' by Lies Goemans 100 w x150 H x 4,5cm from the series Floral Poetry ‘The Fun Of Being Colour' is an intuitive story in paint which feels to me as a joyous jazz session, no rules apply for this piece, it's organic and in flow. ‘The Fun Of Being Colour' is part of Floral Poetry, a series that might shows best the reason I keep on painting flowers. It’s because they speak to me. Written words and sentences enter these paintings on their own account. They show me zest for life, with their vivid colors. They are shouting ‘I’m alive’! No holding back, giving all there is, shining and showing, bright and proud.Painting them is a pure expression of love, and I guess this series could also have be named love letters to myself. Because it’s out of pure personal bliss these portraits arise. I feel no need to display them exactly, but they are always the reason for the canvas. Sometimes they turn into abstract color stripes, other times you can still clearly recognize their faces. They tell their own legend. You can keep on seeing new hidden stories getting revealed in these paintings. And if you listen close you can even hear some music... This painting is equipped with a suspension system, varnished and ready to hang. It is signed on the side and painted over the side, so there is no additional frame needed.

Lies Goemans is an Amsterdam based artist who loves to travel and paint abroad. “Nature is my source of inspiration. The beauty, the grandeur, the richness of detail and also the vulnerability. She is currently working on multiple series, here at Saatchi you can find some of them: At first large waterscapes all by the name ‘What Lies Beneath’. And some smaller and bigger ones with their own title. "One of the things I love about being a painter is to feel completely free to create a place where I would like to be. I’m intrigued by the changing shapes and colors of water. Transparency, layering, movement, fluidity, the multiplicity of water is so exciting. There is a whole world below the surface and you can only get a glimpse of it. It mirrors the sky and it reflects you as the viewer." Here at Saatchi she also shows a new serie of floral portraits. Flowers that awake poetry in paint. "Look at a flower, it does not constrain itself, gives herself fully, without reservation. Pure zest for life. I want to emphasize that vitality and beauty. I pick my bouquet with care, the colors the shapes the openness. It guides me at first, then I let it go, and set it free on the canvas. It’s a sensitive, dedicated and joyous proces." Through her paintings she likes to bring the outside in and the inside out at the same time. "Every second there is a variation of color, light, structure. Nature, life really, is always changing, layered and imperceivable. To me painting is not so much about portraying reality but that what I feel and see within that reality. It’s about playing and being seriously committed at the same time. Sharing that feeling of magical beauty, making your soul feel good, celebrate what’s right with the world, that’s what I want my paintings to bring for you too." For more paintings visit her site
