ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This painting, done on 300 gms paper, is inspired by a scene from the WW2 movie 'Schindler's List': a small Jewish girl in a red coat stands rather lost against a grey background filled with German soldiers and officers, busy rounding up people for a transport to an extermination camp. The girl, although lost, for me also embodies 'hope', the hope for a better future when all of this will be history. And it reflects 'courage', the courage to live, against all odds. Life loving itself to death. This painting, set in a limited pallet of sober acrylics, wants to emanate a message of hope-in-despair. The contrast between the girl and the background represents the contrasts that define our lives until we find a way to overcome these and become whole. The broad brushstrokes and lack of detail reflect the dream-like state that we enter in once we are subjected to extreme anxiety and stress. I hope the viewer will be able to find these contrasts in him/herself and ultimately rise above them towards a realm where there is no good, nor evil, just pure being.

I lived in Tamilnadu for almost 15 years, my (late) wife Jansi is Tamilian, our twins for 50%. Tamil is the language of nearly 70 million people in and outside India. Tamil is the language of poets, its verses are well-known across many borders and there isn't an Indian state that produces as many new songs every year as Tamilnadu does. In short, when thinking about a name for my art enterprise, கலை ('art') immediately came to my mind. I draw and paint since a small age, but only since 2002 I have been taking it more seriously. When Jansi died in 2014 I was down and out for a year, but in 2015 while putting myself and our twins together again, my art work started to take me on a strong flight to where I am now, where I draw and paint so much that I dare call myself an artist.
